Still ridiculously competitive? Assume I can assert some sort of personal reason for wanting to clerk there.

So you think it's more an issue of trying to beat out the local kids? You think top 10% LR T14ers are applying to these places very much? If so, I am truly fucked.

These courts are looking for local ties first and foremost, whether it's a student from a T50 or a T6. I definitely think top 10% LR T14ers are applying this year. But the applicants with the best shot are those who are from the state, went to a good out of state school, and now want to return home to clerk.

Looks like they want local ties. I looked up the clerks for district judge in N Dakota and 3 of them had ties to the state
