What were your duties as an NCLA clerk? I conducted legal research on a wide range of topics, incorporated this research into memoranda and drafted sections of substantive briefs.
What did you most enjoy about your clerkship? Really getting into the trenches in litigation that makes a difference, both for the lives of our clients but also the state of the law.
What interesting thing(s) did you learn about Administrative Law? District courts have asserted the authority to create de facto members of the executive branch. Not that they can order the President to make a certain appointment, but that they can force everyone else (from the Chief of Staff to the government’s payroll department) to regard a person as if they hold executive branch office. Hopefully by the time you read this, it won’t be accepted anymore!
How might you use what you’ve learned later in your professional career? The skills I have improved upon at NCLA are useful in a wide range of legal careers. In particular, I hope to be a litigator in administrative law, and therefore hope to do these kinds of projects on a regular basis.
Any advice for other students who want to clerk at NCLA in the future? Administrative Law and Constitutional Law are both helpful—although not necessary—classes for clerking at NCLA. Even if you don’t know something, the attorneys are in these projects with you and will work with you to figure out the answer.
