JC Laws Summer & Full-Time Clerk Positions

JC Law hires and gives approximately 15 law students a year the ability to work over the summer, part-time while in law school or waiting for the bar results. With the exception of summer clerks, every clerk is working with the intent to become a full-time lawyer with JC Law.  

Our structure and systems are geared toward teaching and crafting new clerks into great lawyers! 

While JC Law hires lawyers at many stages of their careers, we focus on our farm system of recruiting while still in law school. Generally, to qualify for a clerkship the following is required: 

• Day full-time law student – minimum GPA 3.50 

• Evening part-time law student – minimum GPA 3.0 

• Law Review Association or equivalent program 

• Top 25% of class ranking 

• Excellent point qualifier on in-person Interview 

• Excellent writing and organization skills 

4th, 5th and 6th semester law students generally are searching for a career path with a law firm. While many factors play into this equation, generally JC Law prefers to recruit and make an offer to a qualified candidate for an associate position at the above time. This is an “Admin Associate” position.,

Most times a student after being recruited by JC Law will receive an offer. Once that offer is accepted, the candidate can relax knowing they are lined up with one of the best law firms that will give them great opportunities! 

The student will continue to complete law school. Most students will begin to clerk for us between 5 and 20 hours per week until graduation. Many, directly after graduation will add some clerking time but some may want to get a head start on focusing on the bar. As soon as the new member takes the bar they will begin clerking with us full time until the bar results are known. As the swearing in ceremony takes place, they are considered a full Admin Associate Attorney at JC Law.
