Judicial Clerks

Gibson Dunn recognizes the significant value of the clerkship experience, and the unique insights and experience judicial clerks bring to our diverse global team.

More than 450 of our lawyers have clerked for judges and justices on prestigious U.S. Federal and State courts across the nation.

Judicial clerks who join us will immediately immerse themselves in the cutting-edge, high-stakes litigation matters that we undertake, for some of the most high-profile clients in the world. These are exciting, often challenging, at times “bet the company” cases, and at Gibson Dunn we have the experience and dedication to take them on. Alternatively, you might opt to build your career with us in the equally rich, dynamic and complex range of transactional matters that we handle on behalf of Fortune 500 companies and major multinational corporations.

In addition to supporting our summer associates who want to pursue clerkships, we actively recruit judicial clerks who did not spend their summer with us. Generally, judicial clerks who join us directly after completing a clerkship receive class credit and a competitive clerkship signing bonus. Wherever you are in your career journey, if you share our passion for the law, our diligent work ethic and our commitment to world-class client service, we want to hear from you.
