Externships

An Externship is an opportunity for students to earn a full semester or summer's worth of academic credit by working full time, without pay, under the guidance of a practicing attorney at a carefully selected placement. Students can do an externship anywhere in the world. The placement can be with a federal trial or appellate judge, state appellate judge, public interest agency, government agency, an NGO in a foreign country, or corporate in-house counsel.

The Externship has a mandatory classroom component and paper requirement, and students are required to keep a daily journal. Day students can begin an Externship after completing three semesters of law school; for evening students the requirement is four semesters. Students cannot participate in an Externship during their last semester of law school. Read more.
