4, 6 or 11 Clinic Credits

This program provides law students with an opportunity to work outside the law school for credit. Students receive credit for working with experienced lawyers. Field supervisors must be experienced in the type of practice designated for the externship and must be committed to regular communication with the extern about their work. Rule IX of the Academic Rules and Regulations and the booklet entitled "Selecting an Externship" should be reviewed by students interested in interning - both are available on the UNH School of Law website.



Students may select either part or full time externships. All externships must be approved by Professor Musinsky or Courtney Brooks. Students interested in enrolling in the program must set up a meeting to discuss learning goals and review suggestions for possible externships with either Professor Musinsky or Courtney Brooks. They attempt to assist you with finding an externship, though it is not possible to guarantee a position.



The program allows you to look for your own placement, but all placements must have appropriate supervision, which requires experienced lawyers and challenging work designed to help you learn about being a lawyer. In addition to the work at the externship, students will be expected to write a weekly report, participate in an on-line discussion group, and submit a paper at the end of the semester.



Grades for the clinical credits are S/U. Grades for the class credit are O/S/U.
