After earning her BA in philosophy and theology from the University of Scranton, Devlin Joyce spent two years teaching high school French, biology, and earth science in Jamaica and Belize. While deeply passionate about education, she encountered firsthand instances of injustice that inspired her to pursue a legal career\u2014driven by a desire to create meaningful change through the law.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>At the time Devlin Joyce taught in Belize, many pregnant teenagers and young mothers were not given the opportunity to attend high school, with the government-run education system failing to enforce a formal policy and allowing individual schools to expel and reject students due to pregnancy. Because Devlin Joyce\u2019s school chose to educate pregnant and mothering young women, did not charge tuition, and did not require an entrance exam, it was denied official accreditation. Determined to challenge this inequity, Devlin Joyce worked with the school administration to draft a proposal and sit in on official meetings to petition the government to accredit the school. Through this experience, she discovered the power of legal advocacy, a realization that ultimately led her to pursue a law degree at Boston College Law School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\"><figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/law\/files\/2025\/02\/K.-Devlin-Joyce-H-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-115825\" width=\"265\" height=\"265\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2025\/02\/K.-Devlin-Joyce-H-2.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2025\/02\/K.-Devlin-Joyce-H-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2025\/02\/K.-Devlin-Joyce-H-2-344x344.jpg 344w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2025\/02\/K.-Devlin-Joyce-H-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2025\/02\/K.-Devlin-Joyce-H-2-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 265px) 100vw, 265px\" \/><figcaption>Kate Devlin Joyce,<br>Director of the Externship Program and<br>Clinical Associate Professor of Law<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Devlin Joyce began her legal career as an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.equaljusticeworks.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Equal Justice Works<\/a> Fellow, representing immigration and asylum clients in VAWA, U and T visa, and family cases. She later practiced as an immigration attorney at <a href=\"https:\/\/victimrights.org\/\">Victim Rights Law Center<\/a>, where she not only represented survivors but also served as a mentor to the organization\u2019s student interns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recognizing her innate calling to education and an interest in providing students the opportunity to develop their professional competencies, Devlin Joyce returned to Boston College Law School as an administrator of the public interest programs. While at BC, she developed the Spring Break in Boston program, which connected students with Massachusetts organizations for local service trips, and the Public Interest Designation Program, a recognition given to students at Commencement for their commitment to public interest work during law school. After some time in her administrator role, though, she noticed that the 1L students in the programs weren\u2019t adequately equipped with necessary interviewing and counseling experience, so she introduced an experiential skills course to better prepare them. \u201cTeaching that class made me realize how much I wanted to be back in the classroom and working with students,\u201d says Devlin Joyce, who was soon promoted to BC Law\u2019s director of externships and adjunct lecturer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2018, she joined Boston University School of Law as a lecturer, clinical instructor, and director of its growing externship program. Since then, Devlin Joyce has worked with, advised, and taught hundreds of externship students, helping them to find work placements, offering guidance and advice, and fostering alumni connections. \u201cBU has phenomenal proximity to so many placements and such fantastic students,\u201d says Devlin Joyce. \u201cThe law school is so student focused; this opportunity was a great synergy of my interests.\u201d This past fall, Devlin Joyce was promoted to clinical associate professor of law. As part of her role, Devlin Joyce designs and teaches externship seminars that help students draw connections between their doctrinal courses and the practical legal experiences they had during their work placements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-bu-pullquote record-block-bu-pullquote alignwide is-style-modern has-image-focus-center-middle has-secondary-theme has-dark-theme-text\"><div class=\"wp-block-bu-pullquote-inner\"><blockquote><div class=\"container-lockup\"><div class=\"container-icon-outer\"><div class=\"container-icon-inner\"><\/div><\/div><div class=\"container-text\"><hr\/><div class=\"quote-sizing\">Find the joy in law school and follow what you\u2019re interested in.

She views these externships as an opportunity for students to not only try different practice areas while still in school, but to learn from real world experiences. \u201cIn an externship, students learn so much\u2013\u2013they\u2019re growing,\u201d she says. \u201cWe want them to make the mistakes here and figure out how to do it correctly&#8230; so that they are ready to hit the ground running when they graduate, with the skills and experience to be productive and add value to the culture of wherever they\u2019re going.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Professor Devlin Joyce says that with her promotion from lecturer to clinical associate professor, BU Law is emphasizing its dedication to providing these opportunities for students and recognizing the importance of externship pedagogy. \u201cI really appreciate that Dean Onwuachi-Willig, the law school, and the rest of the faculty recognize that externships should be elevated to the same level as clinical and simulation classes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cKate Devlin Joyce has been a national leader in the externship community, and under her leadership as the director, our externship positions have dramatically expanded, allowing students to have more opportunities to connect theory to practice in placements locally, nationally, and internationally,\u201d says <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/julie-a-dahlstrom\/\">Julie Dahls<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/profile\/julie-a-dahlstrom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">trom, <\/a>associate dean for experiential education and clinical associate professor of law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"\/law\/files\/2025\/02\/KateDevlinJoyceCLEAConference2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-115850\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2025\/02\/KateDevlinJoyceCLEAConference2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2025\/02\/KateDevlinJoyceCLEAConference2-636x424.jpg 636w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2025\/02\/KateDevlinJoyceCLEAConference2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2025\/02\/KateDevlinJoyceCLEAConference2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2025\/02\/KateDevlinJoyceCLEAConference2-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2025\/02\/KateDevlinJoyceCLEAConference2-992x661.jpg 992w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2025\/02\/KateDevlinJoyceCLEAConference2-1500x1000.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2025\/02\/KateDevlinJoyceCLEAConference2-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2025\/02\/KateDevlinJoyceCLEAConference2-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2025\/02\/KateDevlinJoyceCLEAConference2-1000x667.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2025\/02\/KateDevlinJoyceCLEAConference2-1984x1322.jpg 1984w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2025\/02\/KateDevlinJoyceCLEAConference2-900x600.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2025\/02\/KateDevlinJoyceCLEAConference2-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2025\/02\/KateDevlinJoyceCLEAConference2-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/law\/files\/2025\/02\/KateDevlinJoyceCLEAConference2.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Kate Devlin Joyce presenting at the CLEA New England Externship Consortium held at BU Law in October 2024.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Devlin Joyce also co-chairs the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cleaweb.org\/externships\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Clinical Legal Education Association (CLEA) Externship Committee<\/a> and sits on the Association of American Law School Section on Clinical Legal Education Externship Committee.
