"Above and beyond" from a law student

  • “GREAT BOOK, anyone who is serious about applying for a clerkship MUST read Behind the Bench. I have researched clerkships extensively for the last few months - manuals posted online by law schools, books, websites, etc. - I thought I had it all covered and was ready to go. Not the case--the book goes above and beyond.”
