Course Description
Up to 10 students who have secured their own externship positions with a civil rights, impact litigation, or policy organization or unit in the New York City area may enroll with the permission of the professor in this course, which includes a one-credit seminar and two or three field work credits (an average of 8 or 12 hours of placement work weekly). Students who are enrolled in other clinics or externships are not eligible to participate simultaneously in this externship.
Registration
To indicate their interest in this course, students must submit answers to by July 1, 2025, at 5:00 PM. We expect students to have secured an internship by August 1, 2025 (with flexibility for students applying for the spring semester), and to inform the professor by August 1. If students registering for the fall semester have not secured an internship by August 1, they should set up a meeting with the PILC office for assistance in securing an internship. The final selection process for the course will be determined based on the number of applications received.
Attendance at the first class is required. Please note that if you have not secured an internship by the time of the first class meeting of the semester in which you seek enrollment, you will not be enrolled in the course.
* 3-4 credits include 1 credit for seminar and either 2 or 3 credits for fieldwork, as approved by professor.
