State court clerkship guides

hose interested in state court clerkships should check out NALP's updated guide.  The guide does not cover all fifty states, but does include detailed information on judicial clerkships in California, Colorado, Connecticut, DC, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Texas, and Virginia.

Vermont Law School puts out an annual report covering all fifty states.  The 2010 version is available here.  The key takeaway for applicants is this: state courts hire on a variety of different timelines.  Some hire much earlier than federal courts; others much later.  If you are thinking about including state court clerkships in your game plan, you should read up on the process during the winter of your 2L year.
