No, they are not part of the online program. Clinics and externships involve working directly with clients, courts, or legal organizations. This requires in-person communication to build trust, interpret non-verbal cues, and handle sensitive situations—like interviewing a client or appearing in court. These interactions are hard to replicate effectively online, as virtual platforms may limit the depth of engagement and professional nuance needed. Additionally, legal work in clinics and externships often involves confidential documents, court filings, or negotiations that need close supervision by a licensed attorney. In-person settings allow supervisors to observe your work in real time, provide immediate feedback, and ensure ethical standards are met. Online environments that try to maximize flexibility for the students make it impossible to oversee these activities securely and effectively.
