The participating students will be placed with Public Defender's Offices in the Metro Area. Because there will be court appearances required, the students must be available during the day and must be eligible to be certified as student attorneys under the Minnesota Student Practice Rules at the start of the externship. The State Public Defender has implemented a policy that does not allow law clerks/student attorneys (whether volunteer, paid, or externs) to be placed with our offices if they are also working for a prosecutor’s office during the same time frame. In addition to their onsite placements, the students will be required to attend a two hour seminar discussion. Grading: Pass/Fail Credits: 3 Offered: Fall/Spring/Summer Categories: Experiential Subject Areas: Criminal Law
