Away Field Placements are the fieldwork component for students who do legal work under the supervision of an attorney for non-profits and government agencies that are not located near the law school. Students who are proposing full-time Away Field Placements are eligible to receive 8-12 units of credit depending on the number of hours they work. Away Field Placements are expected to track the academic calendar. Students who are proposing full-time field placements must receive academic clearance from a JD Academic Advisor in the Office of the Dean of Students the semester before they propose to leave. All full-time field placement applications must be approved by the Field Placement Office. Students are required to schedule an advising appointment at sschechter.youcanbook.me if they are considering an Away Field Placement.The Away Field Placement Workshop is the 1-unit class component for students doing Away Field Placements and will begin meeting the first week of the semester.
