Second Externship Criteria

J.D. students who want to participate in a second externship for academic credit must request permission to do so through the Externship Application. When completing the application, you will need to provide the following information:

• The name of the field placement organization where you completed your first externship for credit;
• The semester/summer session in which you completed your first externship;
• The name of your proposed, second field placement organization;
• How your learning goals for the second externship differ from the first externship;
• Why your learning goals for the second externship cannot be fulfilled by another experiential course, e.g., a practicum, clinic, or simulation; and
• The name of the companion seminar that you participated in during your first externship, and the name of your instructor.

If you are applying to do a second externship at the same field placement as your first externship (even if you are applying to do an externship with a different section/division/office of it), you must also include the following information in the externship application:

• Whether you will have a different field supervisor for the second externship;
• Whether you will be working in a different section/division/office in the second externship;
• How your work will be substantially different in the second externship; and
• The different knowledge and/or skills you will develop in your second externship.

Upon reaching a decision on a student’s second externship request, the student will be notified accordingly via email.
