Students may obtain an additional ungraded credit for working on a current environmental case or issue with an environmental law practitioner. Assignments will take approximately 24 hours to complete. Assignments must be completed at the latest, by end of March 2024. Deadlines will depend on timing of the externship and will be determined by the instructors on an individual basis. Credit will not be granted until the externship is completed. Therefore, the credit is earned in the second term. The placement may involve civil actions, prosecutions, administrative hearings or appeals. The number of placements may be limited depending on the availability of appropriate assignments.
