Semester-in-Practice Program
Through the Semester-in-Practice Program, students may spend a semester working full-time for credit at an externship placement outside of Boston. The program is designed for students who want an intensive hands-on experience - and an opportunity not otherwise available in Boston - furthering specific career and academic goals.
The Semester-in-Practice Program offers four options:
- Human Rights Externship (Geneva) - Students work in Geneva for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) committed to the protection of human rights.
- Government Lawyering in Washington, D.C. - Students work in a government office in Washington. Examples include opportunities with the staff of a Congressional committee or subcommittee, in the legal office of an administrative agency, or with a federal board/commission.
- Death Penalty Externship - Students work at the Southern Center for Human Rights in Atlanta, Georgia.
- Independent Proposal Externship - Students develop their own proposal for a full-time externship. View past placements-->
