Law Clerk Addict's Blog



Those looking for a carefree, low-stress clerkship with very low work hours might want to think twice about applying to the District of Maryland, if a recent Baltimore Sun article about the increasing workload of judges at the court is correct. According to the newspaper, the court, which it already characterizes as one of the busiest federal district courts in the nation, is going to face a significant setback if Obama Fourth Circuit nominee Judge Andre Davis (D. Md.) is confirmed, and may face even greater challenges if more district judges take senior status (which every sitting D. Md. judge will be eligible for within the next seven years) and reduce their caseload.

This article holds true, at least with respect to some judges. We are working very hard this year.
