One con is not getting along with the judge.   The clerk works closely with judges concerning legal questions or granting other orders.   Some judges have a reputation of being difficult to work with, so it is highly recommended to research the judges before I apply for the job.  Another con to the job would be having to work under pressure. After researching, I have found that this particular job requires a lot of deadlines, and I would need to be able to work under pressure. The lawyers carry heavy caseloads and expect their clerks to handle multiple tasks.  In order to be law clerk I must be extremely well-organized, and able to work well under pressure.  Research Activity #2:  What type of career does your chosen career require and what is the average pay?
