Description
Externship seminars provide students with an opportunity to engage in critical reflection about the legal profession, their own future legal careers, and their priorities and values as lawyers in conjunction with their field placement experiences. This seminar examines situations in which lawyers represent the government as well as litigate against the government. The U.S. government, through its various agencies and representatives, is among the most active litigants in the American legal system, bringing and defending a large volume of cases in both courts and administrative tribunals. The experience of litigating for or against the government has some special characteristics, but also shares some important commonalties with litigation practice generally. The seminar will use government litigation as a lens through which to examine certain pragmatic and substantive themes as well as the role of lawyers engaged in governmental practice. Course is open to all students externing in state or federal government agencies, students working with public or private organizations that interact with government agencies, or students in clerkships.
