Course Description

This course is open to 10 students who have secured their own in-person externship positions with criminal defense organizations (either trial level or appeals) in the New York City area. The course includes a one-credit seminar and two to three field work credits (8 – 12 hours of placement work weekly). Students who are enrolled in other clinics or externships are not eligible to participate in this externship. The registration process for this course will take place during the fall and spring course selection processes—after the spring clinic/externship matching process is complete.

 


* 3-4 credits include 1 credit for seminar and either 2 or 3 credits for fieldwork, as approved by professor.
