• STAFF LAW CLERK HIRING

Like chambers clerks, staff law clerks conduct legal research and recommend dispositions on a broad spectrum of cases.

In contrast to chambers clerks, they work for all the judges of the court, attend conferences at which three-judge panels deliberate and resolve cases, and assist the judges in resolving substantive motions that address complex questions of procedure or seek preliminary relief.

On April 1, 2016, applicants may begin uploading their applications to OSCAR for the 2017-2019 term. Please review the Frequently Asked Questions below prior to submitting your application..
