Oregon Judicial Clerkships
The Oregon Supreme Court and the Oregon Court of Appeals are currently recruiting for law clerk positions for the two year period starting in 2011 and ending in 2013. Interviews for these positions will be held from June 15 through June 26, 2010.
The Oregon Supreme Court consists of seven justices, elected statewide. Since 1977, its primary function has been the discretionary review of Court of Appeals decisions. It also decides direct appeals in the death penalty, Tax Court, bar disciplinary, and certain other cases, and has original jurisdiction over mandamus, habeas corpus, and other special proceedings.
Each Supreme Court justice employs one law clerk to work directly with the justice. The Supreme Court employs between one and three additional clerks who work on a rotating basis for all seven judges. Law clerks in the Supreme Court generally are hired for a two-year period. Occasionally, clerks are hired for a one-year period. Renewal beyond the two-year period is at the hiring justice’s discretion.
