LEGAL EXTERNSHIP PROGRAM - FALL 2000 SEMESTER

 Do you want practical legal experience in a specialized area of law, either in a government agency or a private firm or corporation?  

 Do you want to make yourself more marketable to prospective employers?  

 If so, consider Legal Externship for Fall Semester, 2000.  

 Legal Externship is a 4-credit hour non-graded program open to students in their last year of law school.  You can extern in a private or public, civil or criminal practice -- everything from the State's Attorney's and Public Defender's Office to the Illinois Commerce Commission to a major corporation.   Many externships enable you to use your 711 license and appear in court.

 Information packets with accompanying application forms are available in the Law Offices Reception Area and the Career Services Office.  

 To learn more about the program or to set up an interview to discuss your placement choice and opportunity, contact Professor Gross.
