I was horrified by the allegations because I realized that I am part of the problem. I am now a law professor, and I encourage my students to get clerkships with renowned judges like Judge Kozinski. I am part of an industry that, at its worst, pushes vulnerable law students into jobs where they may experience harassment with little protection. Law schools are the only mediators between their students and clerkships, yet I’m not aware of any meaningful actions that they take to learn about or stop abuse.

Not saddling students with 6 figure debt might change the power dynamics they face early in their careers ( across a lot of different situations)

I thought about quitting during the clerkship. I calculated the fastest route between Pasadena and the city where my fiancé was living. I checked plane ticket prices and read my lease to see if I could afford to break it. I would look at my savings (meager) and calculate how long it would take me to get a job, a paycheck.

I wondered if I anyone would hire me if I said, “well, yes, I quit my clerkship, and I can’t talk about it for judicial confidentiality reasons, and…no, the Judge won’t give me a recommendation, and…yes, you have it right, I got through six months of this but I just couldn’t manage the last six.”

I had over a hundred thousand dollars in student loans. I couldn’t risk it.
