King Hall’s Corporate Counsel Externship allows students to earn academic credit in the fall and spring semesters in pre-vetted and approved corporate counsel offices (including for-profit companies). Students will learn how in-house attorneys collaborate and communicate with the company client, and how they incorporate the client’s unique mission, business, and industry context into their legal advice.
All externships have two components: (1) field supervisors oversee assignments and provide feedback for students to build their legal skills and knowledge, and (2) students complete professional development assignments under the supervision of a King Hall faculty advisor. Approved placements may be in-person, hybrid or remote.
Graduation Requirements: Counts towards Professional Skills Requirement.
