The goal of externships is to provide students with hands-on experience in various areas of law. The goal of this companion seminar is to develop externship students' reflection on the practice of law, the specific area of law in which they work, and legal institutions. The seminar will provide an opportunity for students to integrate their practical, doctrinal and theoretical learning. Sessions will focus around substantive issues, skills building, professional responsibility and legal ethics, and include discussions of the issues raised by the students' casework. Students enrolled in year-long externships must participate in the fall seminar.

Evaluation
In order to receive credit, students must attend and participate in the seminar sessions and will be required to submit four 1000-word guided reflections during the term.
