Externs will receive two credits. The lectures will take place in the offices of various state and governmental officials and will be presented in English and Spanish with English interpretation. Externs will also spend four hours each day working at their externships and maintain a daily journal of their experience. Preference for positions at the State Supreme Court and the Federal Courts will be given to students entering their final year of law school. Externs will be supervised through weekly meetings with the Program Director.
Attendance is required at each lecture to obtain credit.
Students participating in the externship program must be fluent in Spanish. Applicants must submit an application form as well as a statement of interest which describes their level of Spanish fluency. Each student will be interviewed in person or by telephone prior to acceptance. Enrollment is limited to a maximum of ten students depending on availability. Externs will be selected by a lottery system.
