The application procedures and deadlines for D.C. externships vary among different agencies and organizations. It is therefore advisable for students to examine the requirements of individual agencies and organizations many months before the externship semester begins. It is also strongly recommended that students submit the D.C. Application to Carolyn Landry in Room 101 at least four months before the externship semester begins. The D.C. Application alerts the Externship Program to student interest and externship options. Late applications may be accepted, but a timely application is highly recommended.

Policies Governing D.C., LA, and other Out-of-State Externships

The Washington D.C. Legal Externship Program and the new Los Angeles Legal Externship Program provide students with valuable legal experience at government, agency, or nonprofit placements, and the opportunity to take two 3-credit graded classes taught by an ASU law school professor. 

• A student must register for a minimum of 12 credits with a maximum of 15 credits if participating in either the Washington DC Legal Externship Program or the Los Angeles Legal Externship Program.
• A student is not permitted to do both the Washington DC Legal Externship Program and the Los Angeles Legal Externship Program. Students must choose between the two programs.
• A student may not spend more than one semester in either the Washington DC Legal Externship Program or the Los Angeles Legal Externship Program.
• If students choose to participate in non-– Arizona (or out–of–state) externships, they are permitted to earn a total of 15 credits in any combination of externship credits, and/or classes and externships affiliated with the D.C. and LA Programs.   

Classes are not offered in the spring or summer semesters in D.C. at this time.

Students are responsible for securing and paying for housing.
