Applicants can manage their clerkship and staff attorney positions by filing them into folders, either one at a time or in batches. OSCAR provides a set of folders for both types of position.  These folders may be labeled as the applicant wishes.  (Example: An applicant may categorize positions as "Circuit," "California," "1-year Term," etc. and copy the positions into folders.)

There are two methods to copy positions into new and existing folders.  Method one uses the Batch Options menu to copy multiple positions simultaneously.  Method two uses the Copy to Folders/Change Folders buttons to copy single positions.

Use this method when you have identified multiple clerkship or staff attorney positions that you wish to copy simultaneously to a new or existing folder.
