I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at US Bankruptcy Court (Brooklyn, NY) in Nov 2023
Interview
It was very nice. The judge was very friendly and willing to help. Also the law clerks were very helpful and generous. I also got a chance to meet with prior law intern and aks them about their experiences and the work they were doing.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They ask me why do you want this position and what are you trying to get from this position.
First-round interview with other law clerks. Then interview with the Judge directly. However, the Judge is the one who makes the final decision. You need to be well prepared. But the most important thing is to build connection with the judge in advance. Let the Judge knows you.
