The UBalt Law Externship Program engages students in real life experiences with practicing
lawyers and judges. In addition to their work in the field, students participate in
a course component where they develop professionalism skills necessary to becoming
self-directed learners. Through the program, students can explore a particular area
of practice and observe different lawyering styles and techniques. Externships promote
the development of key competencies such as legal analysis, research and writing,
interviewing and counseling, negotiation, policy-making and advocacy.
The UBalt Law Externship Program has special program requirements. Students will focus on identifying specific learning goals and the importance of
learning from observation and reflection. Participation in the externship program
involves working while taking an externship course.
If you have any questions, please contact Prof. Neha Lall, Director of Externships.
