of administrative law judges ("ALJs") to decide workers' compensation,
human services, licensing, and a variety of other cases.

Courts has a law student clerkship program that provides students withexperience in the judicial decision-making process. Law clerks are

assignments to work with 6 or more judges during the course of a
clerkship. Law clerks are extensively involved in the judges' work,
attending hearings and assisting in drafting factual findings and legal
conclusions. Clerks also prepare memoranda on complex issues of law.
The clerkship program exposes students to a wide variety of
administrative law issues handled by the Office, including professional
and occupational licensing, public benefits, mediation and workers'
compensation. The Program functions in coordination with the Law
School Internship Office and the clerks pursue academic credit in these
