2010 Summer Volunteer Law Clerk job in Baltimore, MD

The Assistant U.S. Attorney who supervises the law clerk program distributes assignments based on the interests of the clerks and the needs of the office in an effort to expose each clerk to a variety of substantive matters. Clerks who work in the Baltimore office will be exposed to both criminal and civil matters. The office seeks to give all students extensive opportunities to witness depositions, motion hearings, trials, and, on occasion, appellate arguments. The Office tries to assign each law clerk to a case that is scheduled to go to trial during the summer, so the clerk will have the opportunity to observe one trial in its entirety. In addition, the Office organizes a series of programs specifically for the law clerks. See job listing >
