Externships

The externship program bridges the gap between theory and practice. Advanced law students have opportunities to work closely with practicing professionals in public agencies or nonprofit organizations; or for state and federal judges. They gain valuable practical experience while earning credit toward graduation.

Through externships, students:

  • Study the practice of law and public policy. 
  • Develop the ability to perform specific legal tasks. 
  • Enhance their capacity for analysis and critical reflection. 
  • Learn to examine legal doctrines and practices in the context of actual social problems and concerns. 
  • Master self-directed learning.
