King Hall’s Public Interest Externship allows students to earn academic credit in the fall and spring semesters in a wide range of settings in the non-profit sector, including advocacy groups, legal aid offices, and federal, state, county and city government offices. Past placements have included Legal Services of Northern California, California Lawyers for the Arts, the ACLU, the US Department of Justice and the CA Attorney General and agency offices.
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.
