Judicial Clerkship Success at Carolina Law
At Carolina Law, judicial clerkships are a valued and supported career path. Over 10% of the Class of 2024 (29 members) have accepted clerkship positions in state and federal courts across the East Coast and as far west as Ohio. Four of these graduates will begin their clerkships after completing a one-year post-graduate opportunity.
Members of the Class of 2024 have secured clerkships in:
- Federal Courts – Including the Second and Fourth Circuits
- State Courts – Including North Carolina, South Carolina, and the U.S. Virgin Islands
