Externship Program

The Externship Program enhances classroom instruction by engaging students in real-life lawyering experiences with practicing lawyers and judges. Students receive ungraded credits for externing with one of the Program's 100 externship partners, who serve as mentors and on-site supervisors, at federal and state levels and at government agencies, public-interest groups, and corporate-counsel offices for the students. The Program's faculty supervisors guide and facilitate students' exploration of their experience through tutorials, journal writing, and group discussion.
