Externships - UCDC Law Program
Past Placements
Below is the complete list of placements since the UCDC Law Program’s inception in Spring 2009.
The program is constantly developing new externship opportunities, and will work with students and externship supervisors to achieve the best possible matches. All placements, whether secured by the student or by the program, must be approved by UCDC Law Program Director Nicole Lehtman and will have to meet certain criteria, including:
- Direct supervision by an attorney
- Involvement with federal law (either legislative, executive, regulatory or advocacy work)
- Commitment from the externship supervisor to ensure an educational experience consistent with the UCDC Law Externship Agreement.
