Judicial Externships are the fieldwork component of the Judicial Externship Seminar (289A). Students who are proposing judicial externships are eligible to receive 4-12 units of credit depending on the number of hours they work. Judicial externships track the academic calendar for start and end dates. Students who are proposing full-time, 8 - 12 credits, judicial externships must receive academic clearance from a JD Academic Advisor in the Office of the Dean of Students the semester before they propose to do the externship. Students in their 2L fall are eligible for up to 5 credits for judicial externships. All judicial externship applications must be approved by the Field Placement Office. Once the application is approved, students will receive the class number for the Judicial Externship and the Judicial Externship Seminar. On Friday, January 15, there will be an all-day Judicial Externship Seminar Orientation that all students enrolled for credit are required to attend. In addition, the Judicial Externship Seminar will meet 3 Tuesday nights during the semester. The seminar does NOT fulfill the professional responsibility requirement.
