Paralgal Practicum
The practicum (internship) gives students experience by requiring them to work, under the supervision of an attorney, for 100 hours in an approved legal setting. Students also meet in a classroom component throughout the semester in which they review ethics, professionalism, regulation, and job search skills. Upon completion of the practicum, students submit a paper outlining the duties undertaken during the practicum and an evaluation from their practicing attorney. Students may register for the practicum in their final semester in the program. A 2.0 grade point average is required for enrollment in the practicum. The practicum must be successfully completed; failure to obtain a passing grade after two attempts will result in dismissal from the program.
