Rutgers School of Law–Camden offers extensive opportunities for
students to earn academic credit while working for various public and
private nonprofit agencies and for state and federal judges. In addition
to the work, students attend seminars relating to the work done in
their placement. Students can expect to improve knowledge of substantive
and procedural law, to integrate practical lawyering skills with this
greater understanding, and to be introduced to advanced legal skills in
writing, strategic decision making, and the like. An externship placement
can be invaluable as a step to pursue or confirm career interests.
Clinical Professor Harriet N. Katz (3 or 4 credits per semester) (only open to 3L students)
Placements include a range of civil and criminal positions, in many of
which a student can appear in court under the student practice rules of
New Jersey or Pennsylvania. Only public or nonprofit placements for this
program.
Patricia Legge, Esq. (3 or 4 credits per semester) (for 3L or second-semester 2L students)
Placements include U.S. District, magistrate, appellate, and bankruptcy courts, immigration court, a number of Camden County and other state
