ST. THOMAS LAWWAS RANKED NO. 4 IN THE NATION FOR CLERKSHIPS in the winter 2020 issue of National Jurist’s preLaw magazine, just behind Seton Hall, Rutgers and Yale. Last fall, the law school was ranked No. 3 for Best State and Local Clerkships by The Princeton Review. “I enjoy working as a law clerk because it provides a unique window into the courtroom, an opportunity to learn about how judicial decisions are made, and the ability to work closely with a judge,” says Dorothy Summers ‘18 , who works as a law clerk for the Hon. William H. Koch of Minnesota’s 4th Judicial District, pictured here. “Observing firsthand how attorneys practice law and interact with their colleagues and clients helps me reflect on the type of attorney I want to be.”
