California Law and Policy Field Placements: Sacramento is the fieldwork component that accompanies the 1-unit California Law and Policy Field Placement Workshop: Sacramento, where students will be doing part or full-time field placements in Sacramento. Students may propose their own placements with non-profit or government agencies, where they will be working under the supervision of lawyers doing legal work (broadly defined). Students who participate in the California Law and Policy Field Placements are eligible to receive 4-12 units of credit depending on the number of hours they work. Students who are proposing full-time, 8-12 credit Sacramento field placements must receive academic clearance from a JD Academic Advisor in the Office of the Dean of Students. Students' start and end dates are expected to track the academic calendar. Students complete a Field Placement Application, and once it is approved, students will receive a class number for the placement and the required accompanying Workshop. The first class meeting will be on Tuesday, January 14, 2025. LL.M. students are required to meet with their LL.M. advisor to verify their eligibility for the course.
Sue Schechter, the Field Placement Director, is available to assist students in identifying appropriate placements. Students may schedule advising appointments through sschechter.youcanbook.me.
