"A Life Experience"

WHAT IS AN EXTERNSHIP?
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. This placement can be with a federal trial or appellate judge, state appellate judge, public interest agency, government agency, 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.
