An externship is an opportunity to earn academic credit while working for a government agency, a judge, a public interest organization, a corporate or entertainment in-house legal department, or a select private law firm. A third-year Chapman Law student, Lauren Shaw, talked about how her externship prepared her for a summer job. <strong>\u201cMy externship was the best writing experience I\u2019ve ever had,\u201d said Lauren.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Lauren externed for The Honorable Josephine Staton Tucker of the United States District Court last spring and The Honorable Theodor Albert of the Federal Bankruptcy Court during her 1L summer. Lauren explained that she was given assignments to research and write memoranda recommending rulings to the judges. \u201cWhen I turned in my papers, I would receive them back with red lines and comments all over the margins.\u201d But instead of being discouraged, Lauren said this was the most useful feedback that she had ever received.<\/p>\n<p>Externships can be a rewarding way to improve a student\u2019s research and writing skills while gaining realistic experience in a particular placement. Students receive valuable instruction that supplements the traditional legal education they receive in the classroom, and develop the practical skills, poise and confidence necessary to be effective practitioners in the courtroom and the law office. Additionally, the experience enhances the legal resume and provides important networking opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>The best part of her externships, according to Lauren, was going into the Judge\u2019s chambers and getting a weekly lesson on contemporary legal issues from Judge Albert. Lauren was so inspired that she enrolled in Judge Albert&#8217;s Bankruptcy course offered here at Chapman Law School.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Brandon Lewis, also a third-year law student, said his externships were \u201cthe best things I have done in law school so far.<\/strong>\u201d Brandon externed for Judge Scott Steiner at the Orange County Superior Court and worked mainly in criminal law and also Judge Maria Hernandez in juvenile law. \u201cAt first, the courtroom is not a comfortable place, but eventually you become confident,\u201d said Brandon. He mentioned that his externships provided him with the opportunity to watch lawyers and judges in action which was just as useful as feedback he received on his legal writing.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Larmore, who is also the Director of the Externship Program, recommends a judicial externship to any student interested in learning how the legal system really operates. \u201cThis is the only time in your legal career that you are allowed to go behind the scenes in a courtroom to see how judges really think,\u201d she explained. Professor Larmore also stressed that there are various types of courts that accept externs, many of which look for other qualities in their externs besides GPA.<\/p>\n<p>To find out more, students should review the \u201cWhich Court is Right for You?\u201d page of the Externship Handbook, which is available in the LRW\/Externship Suite or on <a href=\"http:\/\/lawschool.westlaw.com\/manage\/homepage.aspx?courseid=33468\" target=\"_blank\">Professor Larmore\u2019s TWEN page<\/a>.
