Pasadena, CA

Career Clerks:  0
Term Clerks (1 Yr):  4
Term Clerks (2 Yr):  0


Know Before You Apply:

Judge Kozinski typically requires his clerks to work in excess of 80 hours a week. He describes a clerkship with him as follows:

"This isn’t really a one-year clerkship; it’s more like a life sentence, with only the first year at hard labor. Or maybe a two-year clerkship, completed in twelve months. I used to describe this job as 'working like a dog for an unreasonably demanding boss who will tear your work to shreds'—and I haven’t mellowed with age. But you’re a hot-shot Supreme Court clerk wannabe. You can take it."

At least one Judge Kozinski clerk has left the clerkship before the end of its one-year term.


Usually done hiring before hiring plan deadlines begin.

What's this about Kozinski hiring a recent Princeton grad for the 2014-2015 term? She hasn't even started law school! (but will in 3 weeks)
