JUDICIAL EXTERNSHIP PROGRAM
SPRING 2015 SEMESTER


Judicial Externship Program (JEP) is a 4-credit hour Pass/Low Pass/Fail program open to students who have completed at least their first full year of law school and want to do legal research and writing for a federal appellate, district or magistrate judge or designated Illinois appellate or circuit court judges.

JEP enables a student to become involved in particular legal problems through research and writing, and to contribute to the resolution of those problems by participating in drafting memoranda and opinions. Depending upon the judge, an extern may also have the opportunity to observe from a unique perspective that judge’s day-to-day routine and to discuss with him/her the issues and problems that judges confront. Take advantage of this prestigious learning opportunity while enhancing your marketability in the legal world.

Application Process

Applications for the Spring Judicial Externships will be available in the Law Offices reception area (Room 600), in the Career Services Office, and on the table by the third floor elevators as of Wednesday, September 24. They can also be found on our website.

Completed applications should be submitted in hard copy to Carole Ross, Secretary to Professor Gross, Room 612, by Thursday, October 9, at 5:00 p.m.

For additional information about JEP, you may also refer to the Law School Website, “Law Offices/Clinical Programs”.

If you have any questions about the Program or the application itself, please contact Professor Vivien Gross (vgross@kentlaw.iit.edu).
