Externship I

Catalog description

The School of Law has created opportunities for students to obtain a meaningfujl educational experience outside of the classroom through externships with federal courts, state courts, government agencies, and other governmental and non-governmental organizations. During each enrollment period students will receive a list of the available externships and the specific requirements the student must be willing to meet to be considered for a particular externship. Some externship opportunities may require the student to apply for an available position, and be selected. Although the specific requirements for credit can vary among externship opportunities, all externships require certification of a minimum amount of student time on qualifying externship activities, regular attendance and participation in the classroom component of the course, satisfactory evaluations from the sponsor, and completion of all written work and evaluations. Grading is based on Credit/No Credit, and Credit requires a minimum performance of "C" level (2.0) work. Prerequisite(s): 28 credit hours completed. If required by the sponsor or the work expected of the student extern, certification as a Legal Intern under the Kansas Supreme Court Student Practice Rule must be obtained. Additionally, some placements may have other requirements. See Externship Program for more information.
