Law Clerk Handbook

The Federal Judicial Center (FJC) publishes a law clerk handbook for law clerks to federal judges.

"The Law Clerk Handbook provides an overview of law clerk responsibilities, chambers operations, and the work of the federal courts. Potential and current law clerks, as well as their colleagues, will find helpful information on conduct, ethics, types of federal court litigation, chambers and case management, court governance and administration, legal research and writing, and resources for additional information on these topics."

It's available from the FJC website
