Legal Externship Program
The Legal Externship Program gives second- and third-year students the opportunity to gain valuable experience in a variety of legal settings in which they're exposed to the realities of law practice under the supervision of well-respected practitioners.
Over the years, hundreds of students have expanded their experience through field-placements in the following areas: civil and criminal litigation, civil rights, health care, taxation, securities law, environmental law, banking, domestic violence, children's law and the judiciary.
Placements include:
- U.S. Attorney’s Office (Civil and Criminal Division)
- Trial Division of the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office
- Clerkships on the Federal Court, Massachusetts Superior Court, Probate and Family Court
- Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights
- Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office
Students participating in the Legal Externship Program are eligible for the Concentration in Litigation and Dispute Resolution.
