This program will answer the following questions: (1) What is a judicial clerk?; (2) Why are clerkships considered to be such a valuable experience?; (3) What do judges look for in clerks?; and (4) How does the role of a clerk vary in different chambers and types of courts?

Making pro bono a part of your practice is important. It helps address the unmet needs for legal services in communities and can provide valuable experience for attorneys. Many Big Law firms have a strong commitment to providing pro bono legal services. In this panel, we will hear from practicing attorneys about their firms' and their personal pro bono practices and how they make it work in Big Law.
The panel will be moderated and sponsored by Norton Rose Fulbright.
