The Externship Program allows law students to earn credit while working at a nonprofit, government agency, or select in-house counsel.

An externship semester requires 150 hours of work at the placement site, plus approximately 15 hours of curriculum, to earn three experiential learning credits. The course requires a 10-week minimum commitment. All placements must have a qualified supervising attorney to assign substantive legal work, provide consistent feedback, and participate in specific aspects of the curriculum.
