Last week, the CDO hosted our Annual Clerkship Celebration. In the 2018-19 term, 92 Berkeley Law graduates will be clerking in 33 different states – a Berkeley Law record. 60 members of the Class of 2018 earned federal and state judicial clerkships – 52 will be clerking in the 2018 term and 8 will be clerking in future terms. An additional 40 Berkeley Law graduates from previous classes will be clerking in the 2018 term.
In addition to recognizing all of our future judicial clerks, I also acknowledged my two most valuable partners in this process – the Faculty Support Unit (FSU) and Janine Nesset Tominaga.
Each and every year, the FSU processes thousands of clerkship recommendation letters – often on short notice and on top of the significant responsibilities that FSU staff members have on any given day.
Janine Nesset Tominaga plays a vital behind the scenes role in keeping the clerkship process moving for all of the students and alums who are applying. She works tirelessly to make sure clerkship applicants have all the logistical support they need in order to succeed.
I am so grateful to the FSU and Janine for their hard work and dedication to this process. The success of our program is due in large part to the role that the FSU and Janine play. Thank you FSU and Janine for all you do! We look forward to celebrating you all at our Annual Summer FSU Appreciation Lunch!
