SLB Room 120
Open to the YLS Community Only

Have you counted yourself out from the clerkship process because you don’t see the value, you think you cannot afford a year “off,” or you think you are unqualified? This panel is for you. Are you excited to apply for clerkships and want to gather more information? This panel is also for you. 

Four Yale Law School graduates—all former federal law clerks, and current federal judges—will share their candid insights about the clerkship-application process, the clerkship experience, and the benefits of clerkships for all YLS students. 

Judge Holly A. Thomas '04 of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit will moderate the panel. She will be joined by Judge Gabriel P. Sanchez '05 of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, Judge Rebecca Goodgame Ebinger '04 of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Iowa, and Judge Maame Ewusi-Mensah Frimpong '01 of the United States District Court for the Central District of California. 

Please come with your questions. This program will not be recorded.
