Yesterday, we had the pleasure of hosting nearly 50 law clerks from across Alabama for ALAJ’s Annual Summer Law Clerk Trip in Montgomery.

Throughout the day, clerks had the opportunity to observe oral arguments, tour courthouses, and connect with legal leaders while gaining a deeper understanding of the legal profession.

Thank you to our sponsors and hosts for helping make this year’s trip a success!
