On Wednesday, Jan. 24, over 150 organizations participated in American University Washington College of Law’s Spring Externship Fair.

They include: AARP, American Bar Association, Aequitas, Center for International Environmental Law, Children’s Law Center, Center for Democracy and Technology, Council of the District of Columbia, Council of American-Islamic Relations, Department of Interior, DC Department of Health, Executive Office of the President, Export-Import Bank of the United States, Federal Communications Commission, Federal Election Commission, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Peace Corps, U.S. Agency for International Development, U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Department of Justice, U.S. Department of Labor, U.S. Department of Treasury, U.S. International Trade Commission, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and many more.
