Could an individual with a JD but no law license still clerk?
I don’t know the rules for clerks, but I think a lot of them are still trying to get through the Bar. Looking it up real quick it said that most states require a HS diploma and either a certification or 2 years of college in the area.
So .... yeah I’d think he could clerk.
Odd thing in the article is it said it was a Human Resource special category. I’d never heard of that before so maybe it’s something new.
Most of the personnel type officers, we called them Detailers, I knew came out of their own warfare specialty as a shore rotation. So Airedales were detailers for Airedales, SWOs for SWOs, etc
Detailer roles were pretty coveted as they had significant ability to push roles or deny/hold back roles and got to talk with all the different commanding officers who were looking to fill an upcoming slot in their command from that warfare specialty.
