| More than a quarter of Rogers & Hardin’s attorneys are former judicial law clerks. We consider a clerkship a very positive attribute when evaluating candidates for litigation positions. Rogers & Hardin encourages its summer associates who are interested in clerkships to pursue those opportunities. The breadth of the matters on which a judicial law clerk works and the understanding of the litigation process that results from a clerkship provide an excellent foundation for a successful career as a litigator.

“My judicial clerkships were invaluable for preparing me for a career at Rogers & Hardin. When clerking, I typically had a high level of responsibility, was the only clerk assigned to the matter, and worked directly with the judge. These experiences were perfect preparation for Rogers & Hardin where associates get actively involved in cases from day one and typically work directly with the partner in charge of the case. I can’t imagine a better foundation for success at Rogers & Hardin than a judicial clerkship.”
Tom Mew, Of Counsel
“After law school, I spent a year in New Orleans serving as a law clerk with Judge Jacques Wiener on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. Clerking in general—and with Judge Wiener specifically—is an incomparable job. You spend your time researching, writing, thinking through interesting and difficult legal issues, and seeing the judicial process from the other side of the bench. And you get to do all of this while working very closely with someone who’s at the height of his or her legal career and thus has seen a lot of very good (and very bad) lawyering. Even today, I draw on my experiences as a law clerk—and on what I learned from Judge Wiener—on almost a daily basis. For a firm with as many smart and talented lawyers as Rogers & Hardin has, it's not surprising that there are a lot of former law clerks here.”
