Law (LAW) - Bankruptcy Court Clerkship
LAW 8877      Bankruptcy Court Clerkship
The United States Bankruptcy Courts have jurisdiction over claims arising under federal bankruptcy law. Cases in these courts present issues arising not only under the Bankruptcy Code, but also in many other areas, such as secured transactions, contract law, labor law, and tax law. Student interns will, among other duties, observe court proceedings, assist in writing legal memoranda, and draft opinions. Enrollment in the Bankruptcy Court Clerkship Program is limited to students who have completed both Secured Transactions and Debtors & Creditor's Rights. Students work at least 70 hours at the court; and attend monthly conferences with the professor in charge of the program's over site.
