The Mason Law Externship Program and Clinics offer excellent opportunities for you to practice your legal skills, increase your marketability with certain employers and earn academic credit. Apply now to take advantage of these opportunities for the spring semester.
There are many internship postings in the job bank on Symplicity with all kinds of employers including government agencies, judges, and public interest organizations. You can also find an internship position through your own connections, and as long as you are doing substantive legal work under the supervision of an attorney, you can generally enroll in the externship course. To get your externship approved, send an email to Judge Wooldridge and Professor Costello who are in charge of the spring program.
Clinics being offered this spring include:
· Clinic for Legal Assistance to Servicemembers;
· Domestic Relations Clinic;
· Legal Clinic;
· Law and Mental Illness Clinic;
· Regulatory Clinic;
· Immigration Legal Clinic; and
· Practical Preparation of GMU Patent Applications Clinic.
Applications for the Immigration Legal Clinic are due in CAAS on November 3. Students can also apply now through Symplicity for the Legal Clinic and Domestic Relations Clinic. For all other clinics, students simply register as they would for any course.
