Clerkship applicants previously accessed judge information primarily through law schools, which often provided inadequate or misleading resources. Most schools prioritize placing students in prestigious positions rather than ensuring positive Clerkship experiences. The Legal Accountability Project's Database offers a repository of clerk and judge insights, containing over 1,700 surveys, enabling students to circumvent school limitations. This resource helps expose judges who should be avoided, as traditional school surveys unusually report positive experiences despite substantial data indicating otherwise, corroborating the need for a reliable source of honest feedback.
Clerkship applicants previously relied on law schools for information about judges, but these resources are often misleading and incomplete due to misaligned incentives and limited alumni feedback.
The Legal Accountability Project's nationwide Clerkships Database democratizes access to judge information, containing over 1,700 clerk surveys on 1,100 judges, facilitating better-informed choices for applicants.
