Externships

Externship Placement Information

Many of these offices have hosted LC Law externs in the past and are interested in receiving applications for spring, summer, and fall externships. You can directly outreach to these possible placements but please be aware that many of these offices will also post externship opportunities through our CareerConnect posting system. Before contacting an office, please check CareerConnect to see if the office has an active posting.
