I always enjoy visiting George Mason Law - and not just for the obligatory Scalia statue pic! Had a great conversation w/ Prof Brandy Wagstaff, ACS + WLA abt the nationwide clerkship transparency movement LAP sparked 💥 + the award-winning #legaltech resource LAP built for students.

If someone did a five year supreme court clerkship for both scalia and ginsberg I'd be impressed as hell. I know a lot of clerks for liberal justices go through conservative judges (normal) but damn

Yeah! I mean... I went to law school with someone who got a clerkship with scalia lol. The described progression is batshit imo

And if you had already done a clerkship on the Supreme Court after your circuit clerkship, you’ve done almost three years of clerking for a Supreme Court judge.

A SCOTUS clerkship is an overrated credential IF you want to make partner in a large law firm. You receive a hefty bonus check, but you miss out on more than two years of training and networking. You're also usually shunted to the Appellate group, which for most firms is not a cash generator.

But isn't the question whether a professor looking to lateral might think a Supreme Court clerkship would be helpful? And as a Georgetown alum, if someone interesting in lateraling there asked me if I thought if a S.Ct. clerkship would be a good credential to add, I'd be inclined to say "yes."

IMHO, SCOTUS clerkship is unique. There's a huge experiential value to, say, teaching/researching corporate law and clerking for Delaware Chancery, or criminal law and an appropriate state/fed trial court, etc. ... but we all know SCOTUS ain't got nothin' to do with the normal practice of law.
