3Ls: Apply for Judge McMullen Clerkship (Memphis) by Monday September 30

Potential applicants might be interested in knowing that Judge McMullen’s previous law clerks have moved on to become In-House Counsel, Assistant U.S. Attorneys, Assistant Attorneys General, Assistant District Attorneys, and of course have gone on to practice both civil and criminal law at prestigious firms.  Having one or two years of experience as a law clerk, with all the research, analytical thinking, and writing that it entails, opens the door to even more opportunities than a law student would have immediately upon graduation.

Here are the requirements for the clerkship:

The clerkship begins approximately August 1, 2025, and continues through July 31, 2026.

Acknowledge this in your cover letter and go on to explain why you are still a good candidate.]
