How do I host a South Texas College of Law Houston extern?

  • We welcome the opportunity to partner with new externship hosts. Qualified placements include courts, government agencies, nonprofits, and corporate legal departments offering substantive legal work under the supervision of a licensed attorney in good standing.
  • Private law firms are generally not eligible unless the placement is within a corporate counsel office.
  • Host organizations must provide:
    • Structured supervision and meaningful legal assignments
    • A brief orientation, ongoing feedback, and a final evaluation
    • A learning-focused environment that supports the student’s professional development
  • To explore hosting an extern or share a placement opportunity, please contact the Externship Program at externships@stcl.edu. We would be happy to connect with you to discuss next steps.
