Calling all interested in clerkships! In this special episode, Preston Hollis and Jacqueline Martinez share their experience as current co-clerks on the U.S. District Court for the District of New Mexico. They discuss their path to clerking (hint: neither of them knew they wanted to clerk, or really even what a clerkship was, when they started law school), how different judicial externships led them down the path to clerking, what their day-to-day looks like as a federal district court clerk, and advice they have for people who want to clerk. Spoiler--one of their best pieces of advice is to not count yourself out! So if you've ever thought about clerking, this episode is for you.
Preston is a 2023 graduate of the University of New Mexico School of Law and a 2009 graduate of Southwestern University. He also holds a Master of Arts from St. John's College.
Jacqueline is a 2023 graduate of the University of New Mexico School of Law and a 2018 graduate of the University of New Mexico School of Engineering.
