Gain firsthand experience with client interactions, interviewing, court procedures, trial advocacy, drafting, and negotiation through our clinical law program. You can truly make a difference
Develop the art of lawyering through a host of public service and judicial externships, which can serve as a springboard to post-graduate opportunities, including clerkships with the bench, private practice, public service, or any career you choose. Opportunities are available in nonprofit, government, and judicial settings, locally and across the country.
Our faculty and staff also offer practical ways for you to interview for opportunities during and after law school. Our mission is to ensure you leave Law School Hill with the confidence to start your career the minute after you walk across the stage at commencement.
