Online System for Clerkship
Application & Review

This summer and fall, more than 800 federal judges are accepting clerkship applications for the 2013 term through OSCAR, an internet-based application system. Click the links below for more information.

Application Process: Application Timing

Many judges or courts list date ranges for accepting applications (i.e., September 7, 2012 until October 31, 2012). Apply as early in the date range as possible because some judges stop accepting applications if they find numerous qualified candidates.
