Opportunities after 2x COA Clerkships?
I am a current HYS student who will be coming off of 2 coa clerkships in 2029. Neither are feeder, though one has been a SCOTUS short-lister for a while. I was wondering what DC or LA (I am from socal) biglaw or boutique firms I can look to target if I have an interest in having a split appellate and trial docket. I have fedsoc ties, so I don't mind working for conservative boutiques, like Lehotsky or Consovoy.

Horvitz & Levy is a solid boutique in LA if you are looking to do appellate work.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Wed Feb 04, 2026 7:27 pmI am a current HYS student who will be coming off of 2 coa clerkships in 2029.

Re: Opportunities after 2x COA Clerkships?
I'd consider the various DC firms with free-market assignment systems. For example, both Gibson Dunn and W&C have plenty of appellate work but I don't think either has a siloed appellate group - explicitly, anyway.
