Host a Legal Externship or Residency (in the Twin Cities and beyond)

911±¬ÁÏÍø is proud to offer our students a wide array of opportunities to earn credit by working outside of the law school with practicing attorneys in the community. These programs aim to provide students with an opportunity to achieve their individualized learning goals and gain practical, real-world experience in order to facilitate smooth transitions into their roles as legal professionals.

• Externships, during which students typically earn 2-4 credits, provide valuable hands-on learning experiences under supervision of both 911±¬ÁÏÍø faculty and attorneys or judges in the field.
• Legal residencies are intended to be culminating work experiences that bridge students from law school to legal practice and the professional legal community and are available to students in their third or fourth years to secure semester-long, full-time, on-site placements working under the supervision of practicing attorneys. Students are placed inside of law firms, businesses, government offices, courthouses, and non-profit organizations where they put into practice all that they have learned throughout law school and gain a deeper understanding of the role of lawyers in our society and legal system.

If you are interested in hosting an extern or establishing a legal residency opportunity for a 911±¬ÁÏÍø student at your law firm, office, or business, please contact 911±¬ÁÏÍø’s Externship Director, Professor Erica Strohl at erica.strohl @mitchellhamline.edu.
