UC Irvine's Inaugural Class Snaps Up Clerkships

UC Irvine's Inaugural Class Snaps Up Clerkships

Nearly a quarter of the UC Irvine School of Law's 2012 graduates have obtained clerkships, a higher percentage than Harvard.

Nearly a quarter of the UC Irvine School of Law's 2012 graduates have obtained clerkships, a higher percentage than Harvard, reports the Daily Journal.

Of UCI's 58 graduates 14, or 24 percent, landed clerkships as of the end of last year, 11 of them with federal district judges or circuit court judges. Two of the remaining three will work for U.S. bankruptcy judges and the third with an Alaska Supreme Court justice.

The number of clerkships could rise as judges were still interviewing more graduates.

According to US News and World Report statistics, the only law schools to beat UCI's 24 percent rate are Yale and Stanford.

UCI administrators attribute the school's early success to the small size of the initial class whose members all received full scholarships, the prestige of dean and founder Erwin Chemerinsky, and the interest stirred by his "experimental" law school.
