Judicial Clerks
We actively seek judicial clerks and recognize the insights and training conferred by a judicial clerkship. Approximately half of all Covington lawyers have held at least one judicial clerkship, either directly after law school or after an intervening period of private practice. We reward judicial clerks who come directly to the firm following their clerkship(s) with credit for purposes of both salary and partnership consideration, together with a $50,000 bonus for one clerkship and a $70,000 bonus for two clerkships for those who have clerked for a federal judge, or for the highest court in any state or the District of Columbia. We have a very active Supreme Court practice, as well as a number of former Supreme Court clerks among our ranks; we fully appreciate the benefits of a Supreme Court clerkship and offer Supreme Court clerks a highly competitive bonus as well as up to two years of credit for purposes of partnership and compensation. We encourage current judicial clerks interested in practicing with Covington to provide a current resume and list of references (including faculty and past legal employers) to the recruiting contact for the firm office in which they are interested.
