Join us for a discussion with Aliza Shatzman, the founder of the The Legal Accountability Project (LAP). LAP is a nonprofit aimed at ensuring that law clerks have positive clerkship experiences, while extending support and resources to those who do not. LAP’s main initiative is its Centralized Clerkships Database, populated with 800+ post-clerkship surveys submitted by former judicial clerks from across the country. It’s the largest independent repository of clerkship information in the nation: importantly, this database has input from non-YLS clerks.
Aliza spoke at YLS in the fall about her clerkship experience and what LAP offers, but we’re having her back this semester because LAP recently announced that the Clerkship Database will be available to any clerkship candidate from any law school, whether or not their law school has subscribed (YLS hasn’t subscribed) via an individual subscriber option. At this event, Aliza will show us what the database looks like and address our questions and concerns -- about both the database and clerking more broadly. More information on the subscription process, and LAP more generally, can be found below.
Most importantly, ACS and the Title IX Student Advocates just want you to be aware that this database exists – whether you want to subscribe or not – so that you can make informed decisions in your clerkship application process. We hope that you’ll join us to discuss this further with Aliza.
