Judicial clerkships. For law students, a judicial clerkship is the Holy Grail. A recently redesigned Web site, Judicial Clerkships.com, aims to help law students "successfully navigate the maze of courts and clerkship opportunities." Thanks to this site, I now know that the federal judiciary maintains a site exclusively for law clerks, the Federal Law Clerk Information System. Despite some useful links and bits of information, the site seems primarily devoted to marketing the book "Behind the Bench: The Guide to Judicial Clerkships," written by Debra Strauss, who maintains the site.

 

Election law. Like lots of lawyers, Edward Still of Birmingham, Ala., put up a Web site to promote his law practice. But this one appears to be unique -- it may be the only one devoted to the topic of voting law. Called Votelaw.com, the site covers elections, voting rights, campaign finance and other topics. Sections for voters, candidates and political groups contain information targeted to those audiences. In looking through Still's site, I discovered that he also has a blog of his own: Votelaw -- Law and Politics. I am not aware of another legal site devoted to voting law, and a quick check of FindLaw and Google seemed to confirm this.
