»Externship Program

An externship isn’t just another class — it’s an opportunity for students to develop real-world skills so they can become well-rounded, confident lawyers. Our students work in courts, in government agencies, criminal law, entertainment corporations and as in-house consel, they serve in public interest organizations and also have the opportunity to extern for law firms and legal departments of corporations. Students also have the opportunity to create their own externships.
