To qualify for the position of law clerk, a person must (1) be a law school graduate no later than date of appointment, (2) have taken or sat for the bar exam in any jurisdiction before start date, (3) have graduated within the top third of an accredited law school, and (4) have proficient legal research and writing skills.

Experience with veterans law preferred. However, Judge Laurer is committed to growing the veterans law practice and
encourages anyone-even new graduates-interested in public service, plain language legal writing, administrative law, or
appellate law to apply.
