Corporate Judicial Externship

12 units

Enrollment very limited and competitive. Students enrolled in the Corporate Judicial Externship will work in the office of Vice Chancellor Glasscock of the Delaware Supreme Court. Students will be supervised by VC Glasscock, an adjunct member of the Washington University Law faculty, who will provide them with contemporaneous feedback on projects. Students will draft memoranda, engage in legal research, attend arguments, and complete other tasks as assigned by VC Glasscock. The placement will provide students with the opportunity to improve their lawyering skills, including writing and analysis, to increase their knowledge of corporate law and its development, to observe legal arguments, and to develop their professional values and sense of the profession. Students will receive 1 hour of course credit for each 4 hours of work per week in Chambers for no fewer than 13 weeks, up to a maximum of 10 credit hours (40 hours of work per week) for 13 weeks. Students may earn up to a maximum of 12 credits by extending the number of weeks in Chambers and working the requisite number of hours (each additional credit hour requires 52 hours of work). Students may also complete a Supervised Research project with Professor Sale, or another member of the faculty, for up to an additional three credits. Corporations is a pre-requisite for participation in the Corporate Judicial Externship.
