A: I can understand your frustration in being asked to wait another year before interviewing for summer clerkships. Though it seems somewhat perilous to sign up against the advice of your career service personnel, my instinct would be to go ahead and try. The results will probably depend on the experience and quality of your credentials as reflected on your resume. I think it is always an advantage for an applicant to widen contacts as much as possible. I would expect you have more to gain than to lose by moving forward now. Good luck.
