Court Opportunity Recruitment for All (CORA) identifies and promotes opportunities for internships, externships and clerkships within the judiciary at the state and local level, both in person and remote. CORA works by connecting interested applicants to state court opportunities.
A judicial clerkship, internship, or externship is an invaluable experience that provides great training and opportunity for growth. Most people change jobs during their careers, and having the experience of working for a court will be valuable regardless of the type of work that you do. And you will be more competitive for future opportunities. These positions offer valuable insight on how judges think, and how chambers, courtrooms, and courthouses operate.
Traditionally, finding a state court clerkship, internship, and/or externship is challenging—especially if you are trying to do a national search—because each state and local court posts opportunities and selects law clerks, interns, and/or externs differently. CORA changes all of this: creating one-stop spot for clerkships, internships, and externships with state courts across the nation.
