We have the highest respect for the knowledge and experience gained in federal judicial clerkships. Judicial clerks receive excellent legal training, intimate knowledge of the inner workings of the court system and a crash-course in legal writing that make them among the most promising lawyers entering the private practice of law. We actively recruit judicial clerks who are highly motivated, who meet the firm’s high standards of character and competence, and who want to practice in a firm committed to excellence. And we value the added expertise and experience you bring with commensurate credit and compensation.
Former Judicial Clerk Testimonials
Before I joined Holland & Knight, I was drawn to the firm's focus on diversity as well as the development of its young associates early in their careers. The programs here have a strong dedication to those two key aspects, and the career development I've been able to experience thus far has really helped me build my skills as an attorney. Within my first year, I progressed much faster than I expected, and I couldn't be happier about that.
I love Holland & Knight so much, I’ve joined it twice – after both my first and second clerkships. I chose Holland & Knight over other opportunities because of its outstanding culture. Holland & Knight's partners trust and value their associates, treating them as colleagues rather than as cogs in a machine. At Holland & Knight, I've worked on sophisticated, high-profile matters, from international investigations to a victory before the Supreme Court. But what I've prized the most is the opportunity to develop strong relationships with superb practitioners who want me to succeed.
