I have a slightly-below median friend at a T14 who has a clerkship with a D.C. superior court judge.

I have a friend who was bottom 25% from a TT clerking there. (He did well 1L at a TTT and transferred, FWIW.) He was unemployed for 1.5 years after too, though he did do a fellowship of some sort.

I think they tend to hire almost exclusively from local schools.

Moderator note: TLS now has an updated, source-verified guide on this topic: DC Court of Appeals and DC Superior Court Clerkships. It covers current terms, deadlines, pay and how to apply, with official court sources, and links back to this thread. For every other state, see the 50-state clerkship directory. Please keep questions and experiences coming here.
