Experiential Pathways

Experiential learning allows students to actively engage in real-world experiences, fostering deeper understanding, critical thinking skills and personal growth through hands-on participation. There are many experiential opportunities at ASU Law that provide students hands-on, real-world experience. This includes clinic, externship/internship, post-graduate fellowship and student-led experiences.


Clinics

The Clinical program helps students develop the legal expertise and professional judgment they need to bridge the gap between a law degree and practicing law. In the clinics, students engage in challenging and rewarding legal cases for real clients, and many students find their clinical experience to be the high point of their law school education. Justice Sandra Day O’Connor has cited clinical experience as one of the most important aspects of legal education.

Externships

The Externship program is designed to enhance the educational experience of second- and third-year law students by providing an opportunity to do advanced legal work that is generally not available through the ASU Law curriculum. Externships are typically with judicial, government and nonprofit organizations, under the supervision of a U.S. licensed attorney.
