2022 Summer Externship Application

The Summer Public Service & In house/Corporate Counsel Externship Program is a 3-credit, pass/C/fail law school course based on experiential learning in the real world. While paired with a Tulane faculty member who supervises written coursework, student externs work at field placements as lawyers in training to develop lawyering skills, to strengthen understanding of professional responsibility, and to promote public service and social justice.

Students must work full-time for a minimum of four consecutive weeks without compensation from their employer (third party grants and reasonable reimbursements are allowed). A minimum of 135 hours are also required at the field placement between May 16 and July 28.

This application must be submitted between February 1 and March 31, at 5:00 p.m. After submitting this application, you should receive a pop-up window confirmation. If you do not receive a confirmation, please email Law Externship (externlaw@tulane.edu).
