Course Description
Through a combination of a seminar and a practicum, the Guarini Global Legal Practice in Digital Society Externship offers students an opportunity to develop a set of skills required to address complex global problems and prepare them for challenges and opportunities that technology innovation holds for laws and legal practice. The externship may be of particular interest to students whose interests intersect the fields of law, technology and transnational legal practice; students who aspire to a non-traditional career path that requires knowledge of emerging technologies in addition to grounding in legal training; students interested in working at international organizations; and students who are interested in legal innovation and legal tech entrepreneurial ventures.
Application Procedure
Students interested in applying for the clinic should submit an application, resume, and transcript using CAMS, the online application system. Applicants will be contacted to schedule an interview.
Preference will be given to candidates who have demonstrated interest in, knowledge of, or working experience with, digital data, data analytics, digital product development, earth observation technologies, or artificial intelligence technologies. However, if you have no familiarity with digital data and technologies, but are very motivated to learn all about them, including the technical aspects, you should still apply!
Please note there is a separate application form for LL.M.s. The deadline is different from that for JDs and is posted on the Clinic Application Timelines page. The same criteria for selection will apply to LLMs as to JDs.

* 3 credits include 2 clinical credits for the externship and 1 academic seminar credit for the Spring.
