Law Clerk Addict

According to Above the Law, Harvard Law School sent out an email this afternoon to its entire 3L class strongly advising all of them to apply for clerkships this fall. In fact, to make it particularly easy for 3Ls to apply this fall, HLS has extended its internal clerkship administration deadlines until late summer so that rising 3Ls can get faculty recommendations and generate judge lists.

So, to answer rezclerk's question below, yes, the 2010-11 clerkship application cycle is going to leave lots of people high and dry. Thanks Cravath!

EDIT: It would be great if people would discuss these blog posts in the comments, but for those who don't like the blog format, you can follow the discussion on these forum threads:

* Cravath and Harvard kill the clerkship market

* Class of 2010 deferrals and clerking
