W74 LAW 787DCongressional and Administrative Law Externship (Von Rohr)12.0 Units
Description:Open to 3L and 2L J.D. students. Students in this externship work during the semester for a Congressional office, administrative agency, or nongovernmental organization in Washington, D.C. Admission to the externship is by application only and occurs in February of the preceding academic year. Student and instructor collaborate during the semester preceding the student's placement in making office selection/obtaining a position. In Congressional placements, students will perform professional staff work, primarily research and writing on legislation, and observe Congressional hearings, mark-ups and floor debate. A course in legislation is recommended for Congressional placements. Those interested in the work of administrative agencies will be assisted in obtaining a federal administrative agency externship in a subject area that matches the student's interest. The student will perform hands-on professional staff work of the type commonly done in the agency office and observe administrators making decisions about rule making, advising the public, and handling court and administrative cases. The Administrative Law course is recommended for administrative agency placements. Students are also encouraged to take, as preparation, courses in the subject area of the agency in which they will be placed. Placements in nongovernmental organizations will also be available to interested students. [Note: Students are prohibited from taking more than one clinic/externship/supervised practicum in the same semester. Students who are not in good standing (for either academic or disciplinary reasons) the semester prior to taking this course and the semester of this course, are not eligible to participate in this externship. The clinics/externships have a different drop deadline than other Law School courses. A student will not be allowed to drop any law clinic or externship without good cause and the instructor's permission.] This course is graded on a credit/no credit basis. 8 units remote; 12 units on-site.

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
