This 4-credit course has two components: a field placement and a concurrent weekly class. The class will meet at the Texas Legislature or the Law School. Interns spend at least 150 hours over at least ten weeks during the term on law-related work at field placements at the Texas Legislature. They are supervised by attorneys with two or more years of experience who have agreed to participate in the internship program. Students are strongly encouraged to contact the instructor to develop a placement for this course. A student may also identify a potential placement and propose it to the instructor for approval. Students must submit an online application for the course once a placement is arranged. See Students – Finding a Placement. The internship must involve the student and the supervising attorney working in person; regular remote work is not permitted. Students and supervisors are expected to work together at their placement offices.
