Externship: Judicial

Catalog description

Students may obtain educational experience outside of the classroom through externships with federal or state courts. 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 judicial externship opportunities, all judicial externships require certification of a minimum amount of student time on qualifying externship activities, regular attendance and participation in the judicial externship seminar, satisfactory evaluations from the court, and completion of all written work and evaluations. The judicial seminar will address such topics as judicial process, writing memos for judges, judicial opinion writing, confidentiality, professionalism, and other relevant topics. Guided reflections will be required for this externship. Credit/No Credit.
