Semester In Practice Programs

The law school’s Atlanta & Washington, D.C. Semester in Practice programs allow second- and third-year law students to receive course credit while living and working in major urban areas that offer active job markets for graduates.

The full-time experience provides our students a fuller encounter with law practice, enhancing opportunities for personal and professional development. Placements include a wide range of offerings, including federal, state and local government agencies, private non-profits and judicial chambers. Students will be provided an opportunity for substantive legal work under a lawyer’s supervision with regular feedback and mentorship from faculty through specially designed coursework. With permission, a student can take advantage of our national reputation by participating in a Semester in Practice program in a location other than Atlanta or D.C.
