Louisiana Judicial Clerkship Contact Information

Louisiana Supreme Court (http://www.lasc.org/)
Each justice at the Supreme Court has three law clerks who serve at their pleasure. Justices often stagger hiring to ensure that they always have one senior/experienced law clerk and one junior/new law clerk. Hiring for judicial clerkships is generally done one to one and a half years in advance, therefore, individuals interested in such positions are encouraged to send their applications or letters of interest directly to the justices during the third semester of their second or third year of law school.

Updated resumes and transcripts should be sent as soon as practicable after graduation. Applications for judicial clerkships should include a one-page cover letter, resume, transcript, writing sample, and list of references.   Applications and enquiries should be sent directly to the individual justices.
