Judicial Externships

Berkeley Law's Judicial Externship Program

Students are eligible to earn between 4 and 12 units of academic credit by completing a Judicial Externship in a Bay Area or Away in a court or chambers.  Typically, Judicial Externships are full time placements (10 units or more.) Students seeking local clerkships are encouraged to review the list of past Judicial Externships below, and then schedule an advising appointment with the Director of the Field Placement Program. Students are also encouraged to bring new placement ideas to the Director if they do not see a placement below. For students interested in doing a Judicial Externship outside of the Bay Area or abroad, please review our past Away Field Placements. The Career Development Office also has clerkship resources and guides available for students.
