Description: <p>&#8220;Learning in Place&#8221; gives students background and tools to support their legal externship or internship experience.

The text encourages students to think creatively and critically about situations that arise in a work context. The text has a practical bent, and includes information about the nature of legal workplaces and practice-related information that might be unfamiliar to students but important to understanding the practice of law. &#8220;Learning in Place&#8221; also includes theoretical pieces to support students in critically reflecting on their work.</p>
