A Novel About Clerking

Elizabeth Engdahl reviews Saira Rao’s novel, Chambermaid, about clerking for a federal judge, here, in today’s Legal Times (may require subscription). Overall, Ms. Engdahl likes this look inside a judge’s chambers. So did Paula Reed Ward of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. But some in the blawgosphere did not. Here’s James Grimmelmann’s take. The book is Saira Rao, Chambermaid (NY: Grove Press, 2007).
