Externship (Hawaiʻi)

Law School Description

The Externship Program offers significant academic benefits not otherwise available in the prescribed curriculum.

  • Students are provided field experience by being “placed” in an outside supportive environment to learn the panoply of lawyering skills.
  • Mentors create situations specifically designed to maximize new learning, to develop new skills and to encourage creativity.
  • Students discover their own strengths and weaknesses through self-direction, as they apply skills and knowledge learned in the classroom, in semester-long peeks into the “real world.”
