- You may earn 2, 3, or 4 academic credit hours for legal work performed at an approved externship placement. The number of credits corresponds to the total number of fieldwork hours you complete during the semester.
- Before registering, you should consult both your site supervisor and the Director of Academic Externships to ensure there will be sufficient work to meet the required hours and that the placement meets the program’s expectations. Once you register for a specific number of credits, you cannot change the credit amount after the add/drop deadline, so careful planning is essential.
