What to Know Before You Apply
Students may apply for any clinic or field placement through one common application. Simply click the link to the right to begin your application. You must complete the application in one sitting as it will not save your progress once you exit. You will need to have available information on current and past employment, and your future plans and career goals. You will also need to upload a current resume and statement of interest. In the application, you will be able to rank your preferences, with number 1 being your first choice.
Documents to be Uploaded with Your Application
Resume
Make sure you have an updated resume in either Word or PDF as you will need to upload your resume as part of the application process.
Please note: if you are applying for a judicial field placement, your resume must include your GPA, otherwise, GPA is not required.
Statement of Interest
Write a Statement of Interest and save as a Word file or PDF as you will need to upload this as part of the application process. In your statement, address the following questions:

- What area or areas of law do not interest you?
- What other coursework are you planning to take during the coming semester?
