It's estimated that there are between 25,000 and 30,000 judicial law clerks in courts all across the United States. These positions generally are filled by young lawyers fresh out of law school.
This may be a little known fact, but federal workplace protection laws - for example, prohibiting workplace harassment - do not apply to, and therefore do not protect, judicial law clerks. That doesn't sound right, does it?
One former judicial law clerk, Aliza Schatzman, decided to do something about it and founded a nonprofit organization called the Legal Accountability Project (LAP).
I sat down for an extended conversation with Aliza to discuss her experience as a judicial law clerk that led her to create the Legal Accountability Project.
