On Oct. 17, 2009, VABA-DC co-sponsored the Annual Robert E. Wone Clerkship Conference that seeks to raise minority law students’ awareness about judicial clerkships and application processes with the goal of encouraging more minority applicants and clerks. State and federal judges as well as former clerks shared their views on judicial clerkships and externships to an audience of approximately 250 students. VABA-DC, under the leadership of Founding Board Member Phong Nguyen, organized a panel on U.S. Supreme Court clerkships that Board Member Mai T. Pham moderated.
