Student Opportunities

Legal externs work on criminal, civil and appellate matters. Further, externs may choose to emphasize an area of practice or, if they would prefer, handle assignments in a wide variety of areas, allowing them to "sample" a range of substantive issues. Once an extern is accepted into our program, we do our utmost to assign work on topics in which the extern has expressed an interest.

These are unpaid externships; however, we work closely with participating law schools to ensure that externs earn appropriate academic credit, where available. Moreover, some law schools offer public interest/public sector stipends, and we will facilitate the stipend process for law schools with such programs.

2010 Summer Legal Extern Applications due by: January 29, 2010.
