About Temporary Law Clerks

Are you an experienced legal professional or former law clerk looking for a flexible, short-term position?

Courts often post temporary law clerk positions when a law clerk is out for an extended absence, such as medical leave. These positions benefit from an experienced hand who has some flexibility in their schedule. If this describes you, login to OSCAR and review our Temporary Law Clerk opportunities.
