Heritage 2024 Judicial Clerkship Training Academy
The application deadline for incoming law clerks is January 22, 2024.
The Heritage Foundation is now accepting applications for the 2024 Judicial Clerkship Training Academy. If you have been hired as a law clerk with a start date in 2024, you should apply.
The Academy will provide you with many of the tools to maximize your clerkship. I will be leading an interactive seminar on textualism and the canons of statutory interpretation. Tom Lee, formerly of the Utah Supreme Court, and James Heilpern will lead a session on corpus linguistics and originalism. Ross Guberman will teach a class on writing bench memos, opinions, and dissents. Plus, you can hear from federal judges and former law clerks about their experiences.
The deadline to apply is January 22, so move quickly.

I have a better idea. Don't get your ideas from the Heritage Foundation, who just want clerks and future judges to act like Republican politicians.
I encourage the Heritage Foundation to do its damnedest -- and then try to limit the whining and crying about the consequences of losing a culture war to better Americans.
It's puzzling, they weren't always that way. But they are all in for Trump now.
The Republican policy shop has completely declined. In the 1980's, the Heritage Foundation was full of ideas and policy proposals and white papers. Some of them ended up becoming law.
But nowadays the Right just doesn't do that sort of work.
If you're smart enough to (a) get a clerkship and (b) be interested in learning from the free training offered by experienced former law clerks, I doubt you're in any danger of having your mind permanently warped by Josh's hypnotic delivery.
It's great that the training has started, and we can expect to receive new knowledge and a new level of workload. Because when I was in training, the conditions were incredibly difficult, especially in law, I had to study a lot. It's good that at least https://www.academicghostwriter.org/ helped me with writing texts for all this material. Without them, I would hardly have passed all the tests before I got to the next level. I remember this now, reading this, with a smile on my face, but at the time I was not laughing.
