Information about Clerkships at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit

Law students interested in a Federal Clerkship at the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit can obtain additional information at http://www.fedcir.gov/lawclerk.html. This site discusses the Law Clerk Hiring Plan, which includes strict requirements for the application process. Another valuable site is https://lawclerks.ao.uscourts.gov where there is more in-depth information on federal law clerk positions in general. Click on the “Search” link to search for available positions at a particular court or with a particular judge. The “Summary Report” is a good link to see a list of all Clerk positions open at a particular court, and for what time periods. Each position will provide all the application requirements and chambers contact information for each judge. Biographies of the judges may be located at http://www.fedcir.gov/judgbios.html.

Federal Judicial Internships at the Federal Circuit can also be arranged during law school. After determining whether a particular judge is accepting interns, students should coordinate through their respective law schools with the chambers of the judge. Some judges do not use interns; others use interns, historically, from particular law schools. Most internship positions, if made available to a law school, will be for a period required by the law school for the fulfillment of course credit and during the school’s semester or term.
