Credit is given in the salary scale for up to two years of clerkship at a United States federal or state court, or a Canadian court. Upon arrival at the firm, eligible clerks receive a bonus of $50,000 for a one-year clerkship and $70,000 for a two-year clerkship or two one-year clerkships.

Incoming associates who have completed a U.S. Federal district court, Federal appellate court or state highest court clerkship receive a bonus of $50,000 and class credit for a one-year clerkship. Those associates who complete a clerkship of two years or two one-year clerkships will receive (in lieu of the $50,000 bonus described above) a bonus of $70,000 and class credit for each year of a clerkship, up to two years.
