LAW 533FP - Externship Program.


Students may pursue external experiential placements not covered by the other course offerings, including public interest, governmental, private practice or general counsel placements. Students may participate in externships for academic credit after completing two semesters of law school.  Students separately apply for the DC and Delaware Programs to pursue external experiential placements.  (In the Delaware Program students intern with the Delaware Court of Chancery.)

Students may also pursue a summer program being offered in the Tidewater area of Virginia.  The externship runs for 7 weeks in June and July. (Separate application for this program as well.)

There is a contemporaneous class component for all externships with required attendance. Field credits require a minimum of 50 hours work onsite per credit.  A student enrolled in this course may not simultaneously participate in a clinical program.  Students will not be allowed to receive academic credit for an externship after having already received credit for an externship, absent a showing of extremely compelling circumstances and subject to the approval of the Director of Externships, in consultation with the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs.  Placements must be approved by the instructor, must not be compensated, and must be supervised on-site by an attorney.  One semester placements only, limited enrollment.  Gould and Natkin
