To practice law, first you have to practice

You will learn early how attorneys and judges process the challenges of day-to-day practice through hands-on exercises and immersive learning opportunities. Bridge to Practice offers workshops throughout law school, such as mock law firm practice with visiting attorneys and practitioner-led sessions on the business of law.

As a 2L and 3L student, you will experience real-world practice through work in our legal clinics, consulting and even representing clients who otherwise may not be able to afford an attorney. You will also have your pick of more than 250 externship field sites.
