The Summer Externship course is a 3-credit, pass/C/Fail course open to 2L's and 3L's based on experiential learning in the real world. Unlike the academic year externship courses, summer externs will independently secure their externship placement site before being accepted in the summer externship course, and they must apply through the Office of Experiential Learning to take part in the course between Feb. 1 to March 31. Furthermore, students who plan to work at sites apart from Tulane's academic year externship sites, must ensure their site completes the Summer Externship Site Request form, to determine if the site fits within Tulane’s eligibility requirements: namely, that the site is a nonprofit, government office, judicial chambers, or general counsel’s office within a corporation; that there is a supervisor who has been barred for a minimum of 3 years; that there will be sufficient and regular supervision and oversight of the extern; that students will be assigned substantive lawyering tasks; and that sites will comply with program requirements including approving electronic timesheets and providing a final evaluation of the student.
