Legal Externship Program
A legal externship is a monitored work experience where the student establishes intentional learning goals and reflects actively on what is learned throughout their experience. With more than 400 placements a year, the University of Denver, Sturm College of Law’s Legal Externship Program is an effective and comprehensive bridge to take students from law student to lawyer. Externs work with corporate in-house counsel, private firms, government and non-profit agencies, as well as with judges at all levels. By working under the supervision of a mentor attorney and having legal responsibilities, such as drafting briefs, performing legal research, drafting legal memoranda, appearing in court and interviewing clients and witnesses, externs gain the practical skills and professional values needed to become a successful legal professional. An externship is a great way to earn academic credit, gain relevant work experience, and build your resume.
