Massachusetts Superior Court

LAW CLERK TO THE JUSTICES OF THE SUPERIOR COURT

The Justices of the Massachusetts Superior Court seek 54 law clerks of outstanding ability to serve one-year terms from September 1, 2009 through August 31, 2010. There are 47 law clerk positions in Eastern Massachusetts, based in Boston, and seven law clerk positions in Western Massachusetts, based in Springfield. Among other duties, law clerks prepare memoranda and write draft decisions that may encompass any aspect of court procedure or substantive civil or criminal law within the Superior Court's jurisdiction. Law clerks have unmatched opportunities to observe courtroom practice and direct access to the judges to discuss cases and legal issues.

Excellent writing, communication, and accurate research skills are absolutely necessary for the position, as are high professional and ethical standards. All law clerks must have graduated law school by the start of the clerkship and reside in Massachusetts during the duration of the clerkship. Bar membership is not a requirement. Because the Superior Court is a circuit court, both judges and law clerks rotate, on average, every three months to a different county courthouse. Accordingly, all law clerks must have access to a reliable car and be willing and able to drive to their assigned courthouses.

For full application instructions and additional details about the clerkship, please see the 2009-10 Superior Court Law Clerk Position Prospectus, available at the Massachusetts Superior Court website or by browsing to the link below. Briefly, applicants must submit (1) a cover letter, (2) a resume, (3) an official law school transcript, (4) two writing samples (unedited by others), (5) two letters of recommendation, and (6) a completed Trial Court application (see link below). Please state in your cover letter whether you wish to be considered for Eastern OR Western Massachusetts (choose one only). Applications are currently being accepted and must be received or postmarked by September 19, 2008.

Applications and inquiries should be directed to Linda M. Layne (if your last name starts with A-L) or Romeo G. Camba (if your last name starts with M-Z), Superior Court Administrative Office, Suffolk Superior Court, 3 Pemberton Square, 13th Floor, Boston, MA 02108.
