Corporate law firms and legal departments are waging a fight for legal talent that may shape the future of the in-house world. To date, the in-house side of things is losing the recruitment tug-of-war as large law firms leverage large bonuses and the ability to work remotely to lure and retain top-grade lawyers.
In mid-June this year marked the third go-around for the recent Federal Law Clerk Hiring Plan—a pilot program that began in 2019 under which participating judges wait until a designated day in June to accept, interview and extend offers to clerk hopefuls who have completed at least two years of law school.
