🎙 This month on Personal Jurisdiction, Allison Freedman and I had the opportunity to speak with Jacob Abudaram, Judicial Law Clerk at the Supreme Court of Hawai'i. This is our first conversation with a judicial law clerk at the state court level and we go into helpful detail with Jacob about the clerkship application process and the day-to-day of clerking for the Chief Justice at the Supreme Court of Hawai'i. A few highlights from our conversation with Jacob (l*nk in comments): 🤝The personal experiences that led Jacob to law school [2:45] 📚How Jacob learned about clerking and the steps he took to pursue a clerkship [13:00] 🌺 What it's like to clerk for the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Hawai'i [17:00] 📝 How Jacob's personal and educational background led him to seek out a Skadden Foundation Fellowship at the ACLU 's Disability Rights Program, where he will focus on the intersection of climate change and disability rights and justice for the 2024-2026 term [32:00] 👨🍳 And, not to be missed - Jacob shares the secret to making delicious hummus and why he started a hummus business in law school (!)
