Berkeley Law’s newest graduates are clerking for the supreme courts of five states this fall — Alaska, California, Hawaiʻi, New Jersey, and Nevada — as well as intermediate courts of appeal in Alaska and Hawaiʻi and state superior courts in Alaska and California. In all, 47 members of the Class of 2026 will be state or federal court clerks: 36 in the fall term and 21 in future terms. Another 53 alums are clerking in the fall term, according to the school’s Career Development Office (CDO), which offers support for clerkship applications both before and after graduation. That adds up to at least 89 Berkeley Law clerks this fall in 24 different states, Washington, D.C., and South Africa. The efforts of the CDO have created a pipeline into state courts that runs in two directions: Judges, including alumni, who’ve hired Berkeley Law graduates come back for more, and students who’ve seen their predecessors thrive in state clerkships are inspired to apply themselves.
