LLM or Clerkship?

LLM or Clerkship?

I just graduated law school two weeks ago and I was admitted into a Litigation LLM program at a very high ranked law school and I was offered a clerkship position with a Superior Court judge. I want to practice employment litigation. I can't do both. Which one should I choose?

Clerkship

Clerkship. You can always get your LLM later.

I would go with the clerkship first.

Perhaps, you could inquire of the LLM program if they could hold your admissions to the next entering class.

I would recommend the clerkship as well. It is a great resume builder and invaluable experience. If you want to specialize in employment litigation, you should get your LLM in labor and employment. That would serve your needs better than a general litigation LLM.
