LAW 6326 Externship

An externship is an elective course that allows students to diversify their experiential learning and supplement their legal work portfolio. Externship students integrate legal doctrine, theory, skills, and ethics through their work in a judge’s chambers, public law office, governmental agency, public interest organization, the pro bono arm of a private law firm, or the in-house counsel’s office of a company under the direct supervision of a licensed attorney. To earn two academic credits, students must successfully complete the same assignments required by the Field Placements Program, including, among other requirements: performance of at least 100 hours of work on site, completion of required documentation, and attendance at the initial classroom component in May, as well as the second classroom component during the semester in which the student is enrolled in the externships course. Course is repeatable up to three times. Pass/Fail.
