Court Law Clerk

The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia is one of the busiest federal district courts in the country. We are accepting applications for a court law clerk to serve a term of one year in Atlanta, Georgia, which may be extended but is contingent on, among other things, funding and law clerk term limits. This position will require in-person attendance, although working remotely on certain days may be allowed with supervisor approval.

Employment may commence as early as 3/9/2026.

Court law clerks will be primarily responsible for legal research and the preparation of draft orders and opinions. They may assist on a wide variety of challenging and complex civil and criminal cases that come before the Court. Although court law clerks may not necessarily work within any individual judge's chambers, their duties will be ultimately supervised by one or more federal judges, and their work product will be heavily relied upon.
