If you are heavily involved in numerous activities, we urge you to think about whether or you can handle the time commitment an externship involves. All students who have not previously taken an externship must attend a classroom component at the law school. Classes held at the externship site will be arranged by the externship supervisor. Hours spent in the academic component do count toward the minimum weekly hours required for each externship. Applications for externship openings are traditionally accepted beginning mid September for spring semester placements and late February for fall semester placements.
