Externship

Catalog description

The Externship offers students an opportunity to develop the skills necessary to bridge the gap between law school and law practice. Through the Externship, students prepare for "effective and responsible participation in the legal profession" (ABA Std. 301) by applying the core concepts learned in law school courses to the challenges presented in the actual, in-office practice of law. Details concerning the requirements and structure of the course are available at the Externship webpage. Students cannot take more than 6 hours of Externship credits, except in the Semester-in-Practice program and subjected to the additional limitations of that program. Credits earned in the Attorney General's Office Practicum and Landlord/Tenant Practicum count toward that 6-hour Externship limit. Graded on S/U basis only. Credit Hour : 1-9
