With over 80 former judicial clerks at our firm, Weil Gotshal appreciates the value of the clerkship experience. The insights and experience of a former judicial clerk bring inestimable value to our clients and our practice of law. We seek out and reward former clerks who have experience in federal and state courts, and who are looking to begin private practice. Many of our former judicial clerks worked with us as summer associates before taking on their clerkships. Hiring bonuses for judicial clerks are based on current market factors and are competitive.
