Spots available for the summer and fall semesters. Students who have completed their 1L year (with at least 24 credits completed) can participate.
The Criminal Justice Defense Externship gives students the opportunity to gain valuable courtroom experience by representing real clients in their criminal cases while working at a Public Defender’s office. There are placement opportunities with all of the Public Defender’s offices both in the metro area and in outstate Minnesota.
Anyone who is interested or has questions can contact Shawn Webb directly at shawn.webb@hennepin.us or 612-596-7884. He would be happy to discuss these opportunities and answer any questions.
