Law Clerks

 The Norfolk Circuit Court employs 4 Law Clerk's who assist the Circuit Court Judges. Law clerks are attorneys. The Court treats them as attorneys and expects them to comport themselves as attorneys. They receive case assignments from the judges, identify issues presented, perform necessary research, prepare memoranda for the judges to consider, discuss the cases with the judges, and assist in writing opinion letters. Because their work assists the judges in reaching well-reasoned decisions, the law clerks’ work is most important.

The position description for the law clerk may be found in the Law Clerk Brochure at the Court’s website.

 Please join in congratulating our Law Clerks as each one has passed the Virginia Bar Exam.
