Michigan Judicial Clerkship Contact Information

Michigan Supreme Court (http://courts.michigan.gov/supremecourt/)

Candidates interested in clerking for a justice may submit applications at any time during the year. Applicants seeking a clerkship with the Michigan Supreme Court should proceed as follows. Candidates must submit a separate packet of materials to the justice for whom they wish to work that includes: (1) a cover letter and current résumé; (2) an unofficial transcript; (3) a writing sample not edited by another; and (4) letters of recommendation at least two of which are from law school faculty members. If an offer of employment is made and accepted, the candidate must arrange to have the law school send an official transcript directly to the hiring justice. Justices individually will determine the candidates they wish to interview and the arrangements for the interviews will be scheduled through the justices’ separate offices.
