Judicial Clerks
A judicial clerkship provides a unique opportunity for public service and an unparalleled learning experience — offering valuable exposure to effective trial and appellate advocacy, courtroom procedure, and judicial decision-making.
Thanks in part to our reputation and active recruitment efforts, we have attracted and retained many former judicial clerks from the United States Supreme Court, Circuit Courts of Appeal, District Courts, and the highest state appellate courts across the country. These former law clerks bring expanded knowledge and skills to the firm that enhance our ability to serve our clients’ legal needs.
At Hunton & Williams LLP, the judicial clerkship experience is valued and rewarded.
Equal Employment Opportunity/Diversity
Hunton & Williams is firmly committed to a policy of equal employment opportunity. We believe very strongly that diversity enhances the quality of our firm and enriches the experience of all of our lawyers and staff. Our firm recruits, hires, and promotes qualified applicants without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, gender, age, marital or veteran status, disability, sexual orientation, or any other legally protected status.

"Whether or not a lawyer ends up in the courtroom, the experience of clerking cannot be compared with any other type of training you might receive. The relationship with the judge for whom you clerk, the other clerks, and the other judges simply cannot be duplicated in any other setting. There is no other context in which the way something is written is so important, and those writing skills will serve an attorney well whether he or she ends up as a litigator, a "deal" lawyer (as I did), or in another position in which the way the words end up on paper is the lawyer's critical contribution to the process. In addition, watching the judicial system from the inside will only give you more respect for this great system of ours. It is a year or two well spent."
