Federal Judges Association – Stetson Law Clerkship Chat – 12:00pm on March 26 – ZOOM

A Judicial Clerkship serves as the capstone experience to your legal education – these opportunities require careful planning and informed decision-making in their pursuit. You now have an opportunity to hear directly from sitting judges on what they ask their clerks to do, how to apply for positions, and the keys to interview strategy


The Federal Judges Association is hosting a  Clerkship Chat, exclusive to Stetson and featuring The Hon. Mary Scriven, and the Hon. Christopher Tuite of the US Middle District of Florida (Tampa),  and the Hon. Grace Robson of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Middle District of Florida, Tampa. The panel chat and Q&A will be moderated by the Hon. Robin Rosenbaum of the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals.

This program affords a rare view into the judicial clerkship experience and application – we hope to have you join us.
