The 24 best law schools for securing federal clerkships
Penn Law/Facebook
The ranking primarily homed in on the percentage of graduates who land full-time, long-term, highly coveted jobs, which we narrowed down to two things: positions at big law firms and federal clerkships.
While not the highest-paying positions, federal clerkships allow young lawyers to make connections and can set them up for career success.
"Clerkships offer an opportunity to work closely with a judge, learn about the inner workings of the judicial system, and hone your legal research and writing skills," Stanford Law School - which sees 26% of graduates accept federal clerkships - explains on its website. "They also provide one or two years of practical training and enable you to make valuable professional contacts in the substantive and/or geographical areas in which you hope to practice."
We culled data from the American Bar Association to find the schools that funnel the highest percentage of graduates into these positions, using overall rank on our main list as a tiebreaker. Read on to see which law schools send the most graduates to federal clerkships.
