Judicial/Governmental Externships

A Judicial/Governmental externship allows a student to experience and participate in the practice of law by working without remuneration off campus under the direct supervision of one or more practicing attorneys in governmental offices (such as prosecutor, public defender, city attorney, or JAG), judicial or other approved governmental placements, while having general oversight by full-time faculty.

The Externship consists of legal field assignments as well as required class work on Blackboard to expose students to professional development within the context of the practice of law.  Externships also allow students to pursue additional educational objectives such as the development of professional skills in a specific area of law by working with a practicing attorney or judicial officer.
