According to Edouard Egger <

If you’re a recent law school grad, what position helping out a judge
would behoove you to apply for so you can gain real-world experience
with research and writing?
That's what law clerks do. They work for a judge researching cases and
writing draft opinions. It's a common job for recent law school grads,
and involves a lot more than the term "clerk" might suggest.
The higher profile the judge, the more competition for clerk jobs,
with the hardest ones being SCOTUS and the Federal circuit courts.

(This wouldn't be an exam question, would it? Any real law student
would already know this.)
