Law School Organizations and Honorary Organizations

Student Outside Employment. The law school strongly recommends that first-year students not undertake outside employment. Second-year and third-year students who engage in outside employment should ensure that such employment does not interfere with academic requirements. Students on scholastic probation may not be employed outside of the law school for compensation without the permission of the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs.

Externships for Pay and Credit. The law school will not grant credit to a student in an externship for which the student receives compensation beyond reasonable out-of-pocket expenses related to the externship. The Associate Dean for Academic Affairs will determine whether the compensation offered is reasonable for out-of-pocket expenses by considering the geographic location of the externship and the cost-of-living in that location, travel expenses to and from the location of the externship, travel expense reimbursement rates allowed by the University, the nature of the relationship between the student and externship provider, the type of assignments likely to be given to the student, and other factors that the Associate Dean considers relevant.
