$3,433.89 - $4,103.82 Monthly
Summer Law Clerks at the Kern County District Attorney's Office have typically completed
their 2L year in law school and have either successfully completed or are currently
enrolled in courses on Evidence and Civil Procedure. This qualifies clerks to participate
in the Certified Law Student program of the state bar. As a certified law student,
summer law clerks are permitted to appear in court under the
supervision of an experienced attorney and present evidence and argument in contested
criminal cases.
Summer law clerks are regularly tasked with appearances and presenting evidence in
felony preliminary hearings and even misdemeanor jury trials. Much more than a legal
research position, post-bar law clerks at the Kern County District Attorney's Office
are given criminal cases to handle at multiple phases of the process, and regularly
appear in court to present testimony and evidence at contested hearings. Law clerks
that can qualify certified law are offered paid positions and a 40-hour work week.
Students who do not yet meet the criteria as a certified law student may still be
considered
for a law clerk position, but on a volunteer basis, with more flexibility in scheduling.
Students who are
not eligible to become a certified law student will be afforded opportunities to observe
trials, hearings,
and assist in preparing criminal cases for court by completing factual and charge
summaries, engaging in
reviewing and providing discovery in criminal cases, and drafting motions.
To apply for appointment as a Law School Graduate Clerk, submit a resume and cover
letter to the
District Attorney's Office at DAHiring@kernda.org

present
evidence, and learn the various facets of criminal prosecution. When bar exam results
are released,
post-bar law clerks that have passed the bar exam are immediately and strongly considered
for
