4.2.1.4) What are call-back interviews? (King Hall Law School)

Call-back interviews (call-backs) are pretty much what they sound
like: Interviews that take place after employers call back the job
applicants who made a good first impression at their initial OCI
interviews. Call-backs usually require job applicants to travel
overnight to out of town law firms and miss a day of school.
Depending upon the law firm, applicants may or may not be reimbursed
for mileage, taxis, meals, plane fares, and hotel accomodations.
The inconvenience of OCI and call-backs cannot be overstated. If
you are "lucky" enough to get the job interviews that you want, you
will still be overwhelmed with the demands on your time that will
accompany out of town travel. Accordingly, the "lucky" people must
often decide between OCIs/call-backs and sleeping and/or studying.
Moreover, your second year of law school, when most OCIs take place,
is filled with activities such as Law Review and Moot Court that will
demand most, if not all, of your time.

4.2.2.1) What is a judicial clerkship? (King Hall Law School)

A judicial clerkship is a paid position as a legal clerk working for a
judge or group of judges that begins after you graduate from law
school. Judicial clerkships are different from judicial externships,
which are often completed for course credit during law school.
Judicial clerkships are extremely prestigious and the competition for
these positions is very fierce.

4.2.2.2) How do I apply for a judicial clerkship? (King Hall Law School)

Each judicial clerkship has its own guidelines. Contact the
individual judge's chambers for more information on a particular
clerkship. King Hall also has a special clerkship committee that
helps King Hall students put together necessary materials. For more
information, contact Jane Thomson (<mailto:jthomson@ucdavis.edu >) at
the Career Services Office, (916)752-6574.
