The Division has a law student clerkship program which provides students with experience in the judicial decision-making process. Law clerks are generally assigned to 3 judges for a period of time, and may rotate assignments to work with 6 or more judges during the course of a clerkship. Law clerks are extensively involved in the judges work, attending hearings and assisting in drafting factual findings and legal conclusions.
Clerks also prepare memoranda on complex issues of law.
The clerkship program exposes students to the wide variety of administrative law issues handled by the Division, including professional and occupational licensing, public benefits and workers compensation. Senior Judge Edwin L. Felter, Jr. coordinates the Division s clerkship program and may be contacted with questions about clerkship opportunities.
