That makes sense. Was looking into Cornell clerking stats https://www.lawschool.cornell.edu/careers/judicial-clerkships/
U kno even tho their circuit numbers don't compare to other schools, those #s are better than expected tbh
40-50 fed clerks is pretty cool

Is it really like no clerkship benefit at Chicago if you’re not conservative?

No, at least from the two people I know there that’s false. I think it’s just something like Chicago for conservatives is on par with S whereas for liberals it’s below HYS but above CCNP

I mean I think even the student body there only like 15 percent is part of fedsoc
It's more just not a good # for people who aren't willing to clerk conservative. I'm sure they place liberal clerks at an above average rate for a t-6 though. Maybe higher (not entirely sure)
