 Summer Experiences

Trying to decide how to spend your summer?  Paid legal employment in the field of your choice is always a great option.  But we know that paid summer positions jobs are not always available, especially for rising 2Ls.  So what’s a student to do?  This category lists options you shouldn’t overlook, including externships that provide placement in an employment setting with exposure to practice in this area, fellowships or scholarships that students can apply for that support unpaid internships or externships in this field, and other relevant opportunities. Externships are for-credit experiential learning opportunities, where the student is supervised both by a lawyer at the placement and a faculty member, with educational requirements the student must meet.  Financial aid is generally available for students who enroll in externships on the same terms as for other coursework.
