LEGAL STUDIES INTERNSHIP

Catalog description

Legal Studies Internship provides advanced students with supervised, practical experience applying legal professional skills within selected law firms, corporate legal departments, or government agencies. Students maintain a reflective journal, participate in online discussions with other interns (if available), and submit a final report evaluating their internship experience. Internships are generally completed during a student's second year of study and may be paid or unpaid. Credit is awarded based on time spent: 75 clock hours = 1 credit hour. Enrollment is limited to degree-seeking students in the Legal Studies Program. The course may be repeated twice for a maximum of six credit hours under this course number. NOTE: This course requires advanced reading, advanced writing and basic math.
