The Judge does not participate in OSCAR and applications should be submitted by mail to chambers. | Judge Buchwald accepts paper applications. When submitting applications please include the following documents: 1 Resume, 1 Cover letter, a law school grade sheet, 1 Writing sample, three letters of recommendation should also be submitted. | My first opening for a law clerk would be for the 2018-19 year. However, let me share the following general information about my clerkship hiring practices. As a general matter, I prefer to hire clerks who have at least a year or two of experience practicing law. Work experience between college and law school is likewise viewed favorably. I also examine the applicant's law school transcript not only for grades earned, but also for courses taken. It is also important to me that applicants take courses which will prepare them to work on the types of cases that are frequently filed in the Southern District of New York (e.g. securities, intellectual property, complex commercial disputes and antitrust). You may have questions about what it would mean for your clerkship experience that I am a senior judge. As you may know each judge treats senior status differently. In my case, I continue to have a full criminal docket. On the civil side, I no longer have certain categories of routine civil cases (e.g. social security) on my docket. However, my docket is replete with the types of sophisticated and challenging cases for which the S.D.N.Y is known. Candidates may submit applications at any time and applications will be considered on a rolling basis. I do not participate in OSCAR and applications should be submitted by mail to chambers. | Paper |

Judge Seibel intends to honor the pilot Law Clerk Hiring Plan going forward, so applicants should not apply before the applicable date at the conclusion of their second year of law school. Application Process: Applicants should snail-mail a cover letter, resume, law school transcript, undergraduate transcript, writing sample, and three letters of reference to the address above. If it is impossible for the letters of reference to be included in the package, they may be submitted separately, but please so indicate in the cover letter. If an applicant cannot send hard copies without difficulty (e.g., the applicant is overseas), permission to e-mail the materials may be requested by calling chambers. Emailed applications should come as a single PDF. Please include the word “Clerkship” in the subject line of any e-mail. |
