    Summer clerkships 2009/2010

    Congrats! I'm sure you'll make your mark in either firm =) As for the grad offer, you can always cancel one you accepted later on during the year. But you probably don't want to say that you're going to a rival firm =P

    How to prepare for the clerkship season

    1. Law marks ARE important. No matter what people say, this is the first thing the firms always look at (whether or not firms admit it). Despite what all the firms say about having a balanced resume (ie. extra-curricular activities, work experience etc.), in the end, if you have good grades...
