Section Description
The In-House Counsel Externship will provide students with an understanding of roles in-house lawyers play while offering them an opportunity to experience that work firsthand. The 2-hour externship seminar will explore areas of the law that are integral to in-house corporate practice – including corporate governance, compliance, M&A, product counseling, employment law, intellectual property, privacy, contracts, and litigation – from the perspective of the attorney whose job is simultaneously both lawyer and client. The seminar component will also explore workplace dynamics and ethical considerations of in-house attorneys including conflicts of interest and confidentiality. Field placements will provide students the opportunity to learn from practice in corporations’ and institutions’ legal departments. Students will integrate the seminar-based skills into their field practice.
Students will be assessed on class assignments and performance.
