The judges of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana have established an extern program in which the Loyola students participate. Second-year law students in the upper third of their class may apply to participate in the program during their third year of law school.
Enrollment is limited.
The selection of externs is made by the faculty and the U.S. District Court judges. Externs, working for two credits per semester, will engage in the preparation of memoranda in connection with motions filed pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil and Criminal Procedure. They will learn basic administration and record-keeping procedures of the U.S. District Court. Participants will have an opportunity to hear arguments on mo tions on which they have worked. The work required and credit awarded is the same as for the District Court Extern Program.
