Undergraduate Internship in Legal Studies

3 units

Students receive credit for a faculty-directed and approved internship. Registration requires completion of the Learning Agreement which the student obtains from the Career Center and which must be filled out and signed by the Career Center and the faculty sponsor prior to beginning internship work. Credit should correspond to actual time spent in work activities, e.g., 8-10 hours a week for 13 or 14 weeks to receive 3 units of credit; 1 or 2 credits for fewer hours. Students may not receive credit for work done for pay but are encouraged to obtain written evaluations about such work for the student's academic advisor and career placement file. To register for an internship you must complete an Internship Learning Agreement (obtained from the Career Center), which must then be approved by the Director of Legal Studies, the internship supervisor at the Career Center, and the person supervising your work as intern.
