(1) Requirements of Students:
Students in the College of Law’s Externship Program may elect to complete either 100 or
150 hours of work in the field placement. Upon completion of the field placement work
and any corresponding classroom work, the student will earn two or three credits,
respectively. In rare cases in which work extends to another academic term, a student
may earn an additional one credit for an extension of externship work with the consent of
the Field Placement Supervisor and the Faculty Director.
(2) Educational Objectives:
The faculty of the University of Wyoming College of Law believes that externship
programs can provide students with an opportunity to develop professional skills. Pursuant
to this goal, the externship program aims:
• to expose students to a broad range of lawyering skills, which may include
client interviews, counseling, negotiation, court appearances, administrative
proceedings, settlement conferences, discovery, legal research and analysis, formulation
of case strategy and public interest advocacy;
• to encourage development of legal research and writing skills through work on
legal documents such as motions, complaints, briefs, memoranda, agreements and opinion
letters;
• to further students' understanding of, and ability to apply, legal principles
learned in the classroom to actual problems;
• to foster in our students a better understanding of the lawyer’s role in our legal
system;
• to provide opportunities for students to explore career interests in a variety of
legal settings and to begin to build a professional network; and
• to foster, through experience and critical reflection, a greater understanding of the
importance of the fundamental values of fairness, justice and competent representation;
and ongoing professional growth, professional responsibility, and self-assessment.

personal and professional responsibility for guidance and quality of work
prepared by the supervised student.
• Complete the Certification of Supervising Lawyer attached hereto;
• Discuss with the student his or her learning objectives and expected
outcomes of the externship;
• Assign appropriate legal work to the student;
• Remain reasonably accessible to the student for direction and feedback;
• Meet with the student on a regular basis to discuss assignments and
provide feedback;
• Include the student in relevant meetings with other attorneys or staff; and
• Complete a mid-term and final evaluation form provided by the College of
Law Externship Faculty Director.
(4) Role of the Faculty Director:
The Faculty Director will meet with students to ensure that they are making progress
toward the fulfillment of their learning objectives. The Faculty Director will
periodically request a meeting with you to discuss the program and the work product
of externs. The Faculty Director will also make herself available for consultation
should any problems arise or should you need additional information about the
program.
I, , agree to serve as a Field Placement
