Externships

By integrating classroom work with real-world experience, externships offer students the opportunity to see law in action while gaining a deeper understanding of how legal practice happens.

Through externships, students work under the direct supervision of an attorney to engage in the types of projects that would typically be given to an entry-level attorney. At Georgetown, our students are able to have this experience with the backdrop of some of our nation’s most interesting and complex institutions.
