Spots available for the fall semester! Students who have completed their 1L year (with at least 24 credits completed) can participate, including remote and Hybrid students.
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, in outstate Minnesota, and remotely.
Anyone who is interested or has questions can contact Shawn Webb directly at shawn.webb@pubdef.state.mn.us. He would be happy to discuss these opportunities and answer any questions.
