Enrollment for most experiential learning offerings takes place through a combined application process each spring. This allows students to apply a year in advance for multiple offerings to maximize their learning opportunities. LL.M. and transfer students will have the opportunity to apply in a limited application cycle during the summer.
The timeline below shows the events to learn about next year's offerings and the deadlines for applications. Students are strongly encouraged to attend one of these events to speak with former students and instructors. The deadline for applications for Fall 2024 and Spring 2025 is April 5, 2024 at noon. Each application requires answering a series of questions (described below) so please leave yourself sufficient time before the deadline to complete the application.
J.D. students must complete six credits of experiential education to graduate.
This requirement can be fulfilled through various options: Clinics, the D.C. externship, Lawyering for Social Justice (Pro Bono Scholars Program), and the Public Education Policy Seminar and Practicum each fulfill the requirement entirely.
Other externships typically provide four or five credits, while simulations and policy labs offer a range of credits. For more details, students can refer to the online curriculum guide and look for courses tagged as "experiential" under "additional attributes."
