Today was the last day of my judicial clerkship, and now, a few days shy of the second anniversary of my graduation from law school, I'm getting ready to enter the private practice of law.
My clerkship has proven to be quite a valuable experience, one that has given me a look at a side of the law that many people don't see. I was fortunate to work for an excellent judge, one of the highest caliber (indeed, President Bush has nominated the judge to the federal bench, but the nomination is currently mired in Senate politics.)
I'll soon be joining a law firm that specializes in civil litigation. Though I truly cherished my time clerking, I'm looking forward to practicing law in front of the bench, as opposed to quietly advising the bench behind the scenes.
I'm also looking forward to doing some more blogging. I tried to keep the subject matter of my posts relatively low key while I was serving my clerkship -- indeed, there are some posts that I decided not to publish right away, and some of those may gradually begin to appear (or in some cases, reappear) as time goes on, and I may post some retrospective items looking back on my clerkship, for all three of you who might find that interesting.
