The Legal Externship Office is excited to announce changes to the Externship Program, beginning Spring 2012! While the Legal Externship Office has always featured placements with corporate in-house counsel, private firms, government and non-profit agencies, as well as with judges at all levels, our new approach organizes these placements into clearly defined “programs.” Beginning in the Spring 2012 semester, students will enroll in legal externships in one of several specific programs within the Legal Externship Office, each of which will be accompanied by a for-credit externship course.
This meeting will address all the program changes and we will answer all of your questions!
