Chicago-Kent College of Law Viewbook - (Page 57) Externships Externships broaden your employment opportunities by providing you with practical legal experience often not available through paid clerking or volunteer positions. Serving as excellent preparation for post-graduate judicial clerkships, judicial externships acquaint you with the day-to-day operation of the courts as you work with trial and appellate court judges and their law clerks to research and write legal memoranda and draft opinions. In legal externships, you’ll work in civil or criminal practice in a specialized area of your choice with supervising attorneys in federal, state and local government agencies, corporate legal departments, or public interest organizations.
