Externships: Putting Theory into Practice
Application Instructions
Before applying to any externship (you may apply to a maximum of three), please ensure you can fulfill the minimum eligibility requirements. Check individual program descriptions (current opportunities) for other requirements.
Submit a completed application form (does not have to be typed) and resume (do not staple to application but insert beneath the first page) for each externship of interest and any other required material (check each program description for details) by the application deadline date to the Externship Program Office in room 326 of the Urban Life Building.
Directly after the application deadline, your resume will be forwarded to the appropriate externship supervisor. If the supervisor wishes to set up an interview with you, he or she will either request that the Externship Program Office contact you or may contact you directly. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU CONTACT THE SUPERVISOR UNLESS YOU ARE CALLED DIRECTLY OR ADVISED TO DO SO.
Interviews will be scheduled directly after the application period ends for a period of two weeks. Interviews will be held either at the law school or at the externship site. You will be notified by this office whether you receive an interview or did not. Students must check their e-mails regularly (each day) for interview notices.
Students will be notified of externship offers via e-mail throughout the course of the interview period. Again, check your e-mail each day. Students accepted into the Externship Program will receive an "Authorization to Register Form" shortly before pre-registration. YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ENROLL IN AN EXTERNSHIP WITHOUT PRE-AUTHORIZATION. Students selected to participate in the program will receive additional correspondence pertaining to the Externship Program several weeks prior to the start of the semester.
Questions regarding the program or status of your application should be directed to the Externship Program Office (contact us).
