Students accepted into this program will be placed in the legal department of a corporation in the metropolitan New York area. Students will be exposed to the various ways in which law is practiced “in house.” In a weekly seminar, students will learn the unique lawyering skills needed to work in an in-house environment and learn from their experiences at their placements. Each student will produce a major piece of writing and keep a weekly journal. Students are required to work at their field placement 16 hours per week.

Prerequisite: Corporations and Partnerships. Permission of the professor, based on the student’s application and interview, and the student’s actual placement in an approved legal department, are required.
