Put simply, the Supreme Court Clinic was an awesome experience. The lessons I took from my interactions with top Supreme Court advocates—including your very own professors—will stay with me throughout my career. And those lessons are not limited to those who plan to be appellate lawyers; I use them all of the time in my practice, too. From learning to use crisper, more persuasive prose, to the ins-and-outs of the Supreme Court’s cert and merits process, I learned a ton.
In addition to all you’ll learn, working with such intelligent, hard-working individuals makes you want to do your very best on each and every project. And if that’s not enough to fire you up, you can rest assured knowing that your work will likely find its way into a Supreme Court brief. That’s pretty cool, in my opinion.
Apply! It’s truly a great opportunity.
