The Judicial Internship Program allows students to receive academic credit for work in a judge's chambers in San Diego. Students must work 50 hours per unit of credit. In addition to the work component of the Program, students enrolled in the program will have regular contact with the Program's instructor, Professor Ursin, who will meet with students individually (virtually), and review samples of the student's reflective and written work from the internship. Students can secure their own internship position or can meet with Professor Ursin for guidance in securing a placement. The internship is graded on a pass/fail basis. Students must receive approval from Professor Ursin to register for this program.

Note:

There are limitations on JD concentration eligibility. Please check the concentration web pages for more information.
