“If you're a law student or attorney applying for clerkships, this will be the best $20 investment you've ever made. I have been looking up the appellate judges on my list and after reading about how amazing they are, I am even more motivated to get these applications in!”

-José Luis Urteaga, Law Clerk at Morrison Foerster

“This is a great project! It is essential to think critically about whether to clerk and where and for whom to do it, rather than just going along with the sense that clerking is the most incredible thing that you have to do if you have the grades for it.”

“I’m so glad you’re doing this! I was lucky enough to have two very positive experiences, but not everyone is. Shame on law schools for keeping information about who is and isn’t abusive under wraps.”

“I’m really happy LAP is doing this. It’s bad taste to ‘talk bad’ about a federal judge but it’s nice to be able to provide anonymous feedback on my clerkship to warn other clerks.”

“LAP provides critical information that is particularly relevant to students right now.”

“Judges benefit from LAP’s Database too. It ensures clerks are a perfect match and a good fit for the judge and vice versa. It reduces the frequency of tolerable or mixed experiences. And it opens up awareness about different circuits and judges and cultivates an open, unhindered flow of clerks between circuits, subsequently diversifying chambers as well. "

“LAP has meaningfully changed clerkship messaging, programming, and advising on our campus.”

“This project is important. Federal clerks don’t have a lot of protection, and the judge has a lot of power over your career. It’s important to know what you’re getting into.”

“LAP has changed the way we think about clerkship advising. Not everyone has a positive experience, and our programming reflects this now.”

“This is a really great opportunity to share information and prevent others from experiencing a really awful clerkship like I had.”

“Because of LAP’s programming on my campus, I was able to discerningly evaluate clerkships and identify a positive working relationship with my judge.”

“LAP’s event on our campus was the best event I’ve ever attended during my time in law school. Aliza is a particularly dynamic and engaging speaker!”
