Gain Legal Experience in Silicon Valley

Santa Clara Law’s Externship Program allows students to earn course credit for a position doing legal work for an approved sponsor outside the law school.  Students earn credits toward graduation by learning legal skills through practical experience in the field and an accompanying online class.

Learning from experience in the field allows students to get a head start on professional development and obtain the critical skills needed by legal employers.  The Externship Program at Santa Clara Law puts law school into action, in the heart of Silicon Valley.
