A student registering for his or her first externship should enroll in Legal Externship and should enroll in Becoming a Lawyer or one of the equivalent externship seminars. After consultation with the Coordinator of Clinical Programs or the faculty instructor, each student selects a placement at which to do uncompensated legal work under the supervision of an attorney. Placements include federal, state, and local government agencies, judicial chambers, prosecutors’ and defenders’ offices, law firms, corporate general counsels’ offices, public interest organizations, and labor unions. Students may receive two credits for 120 hours of uncompensated fieldwork or three additional credits for 180 hours of fieldwork. Each student submits periodic detailed time logs to the Clinical Programs Office to obtain credit for the fieldwork. Students must seek approval for proposed placements by filling out the online placement approval form at http://externships.law.edu. Students should obtain approval of placements before the semester begins. For additional information about the externship program, refer to the section on "Legal Externships" on page 40.
