The UCDC Law Program is a field placement program for students engaged in externships based in Washington DC. Students are eligible to earn credit for field placements with government agencies, the Hill, or non-profit organizations. Students who obtain a full-time externship based in Washington DC or a remote part-time externship based in Washington DC must register for the UCDC Law Program field placement. Students who participate in the UCDC Law Program are eligible to receive 8-12 units of credit depending on the number of hours they work. Students who are participating in the UCDC Law Program must receive academic clearance from a JD Academic Advisor in the Office of the Dean of Students.
Students working full-time (8-12 units) must be based in Washington DC and must enroll in a 3-unit companion course to accompany their field placements.
