Each year, the judges in Maryland’s appellate, circuit and district courts hire as many as 150 law school graduates to serve as judicial clerks, and invite nearly as many law students to serve as interns.
The Byron L. Warnken Judicial Clerkship Institute is a one-day, intensive series of discussions conducted by judges, clerks, professors and court personnel designed to prepare students for clerkships and internships in Maryland courts.
Registration is free and open to any student or graduate of any law school who has secured a clerkship or internship with a Maryland judge, and for all students and graduates of the University of Baltimore School of Law.
This year's program will be held on Thursday, May 2nd from 8:30 am - 6:00 pm in the Moot Court Room at the University of Baltimore School of Law.
