Externships allow students to earn academic credit while working off campus in a law office or court.
FSU Law offers a diverse range of externships that provide real law practice experience working with attorneys or judges at a legal office or organization off campus. There are over 100 established placements in several areas of law, including Criminal Justice, Environmental, Business, International, Local Government, Public Interest, and Judicial placements. Students gain a strong leg up in their future job search and, at the same time, earn valuable academic credit just as with any academic course or program.
