Externships
Recognizing the value of practical, on-site experience, the School of Law offers an extensive program of externships. Sites are varied and students can select an area closely allied with their chosen career goals.
Under Illinois State Law, students studying for the J.D. degree who have completed 51 credit hours are eligible to apply to the Illinois Supreme Court for a 711 license, which allows them to practice law under the direct supervision of a licensed attorney. Many externships require a 711 license.
