Humor around the clerkship circle

Just a paraphrase of a random comment heard from one of the other clerks: "After going to Big Ten Undergrad, I went to medical school for a couple years. After I realized that I didn’t like helping people, I decided to go to law school instead."

And I must have heard or been a part of at least five separate conversations about the $50k clerkship bonus offered by most of the New York firms. If any firm (New York or otherwise) isn't at least attempting to hit the $20k-$35k mark because they don't think this bonus has an impact on the final decision, you are fooling yourself. Even Above the law reports that yet another firm has bumped its clerkship bonus to $50k. More on the greedy bonus stuff another day.
