Working as a judicial intern allows law students to gain practical legal experience and familiarity with the court operations.
These judicial "clerkships" generally last one year in which the law clerk works closely with the judge in assisting various matters before the court.
Judicial clerkships tend to be a valuable experience to an attorney's career because of the work involved in both substantive and procedural issues.
In many cases, a clerkship is a critical stepping stone into real practice.
