Career planning networking EVENTS UPDATE:
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL’S HONORS PROGRAM WEBINAR [DEADLINE TO RSVP: JUNE 17, 2016]
Those of you currently in or entering a judicial clerkship are invited to attend a brief webinar about The Attorney General’s Honors Program (HP). The webinar will be hosted by the Office of Attorney Recruitment and Management and will provide an opportunity to learn about eligibility rules, the application process, and get answers to their questions about the HP.
Did you know? Judicial clerkships in any U.S. jurisdiction, state or federal, are qualifying eligibility-preserving activities that will allow graduates to apply again for the HP post-graduation. Graduates can have multiple clerkships or combine judicial clerkships with other prior or subsequent eligibility-preserving activities, e.g., fellowships, graduate law programs, subject to all other eligibility rules. Staff attorneys working for a court (and its judges) as a whole rather than for individual judges are also considered judicial law clerks for purposes of determining HP eligibility. Law school graduates must enter a full-time eligibility preserving activity not later than nine months following law school graduation to preserve Honors Program eligibility. More information on eligibility can be found at: justice.gov/legal-careers/honors-program-eligibility.
