The Externship Seminar meets weekly, for approximately three hours. The first hour of the Externship Seminar is a "round-table" discussion during which students discuss their individual externship experiences. The goal of these discussions is to allow students to learn about the different aspects of lawyering from the range of externship sites in which the students are placed. The round-table discussions are guided by the reflective weekly journal entries that are submitted by the students. The journal entries are in two forms: either personal reflections on their externship experience; or entries guided by the instructor on topics to be announced, such as ethical issues, office heirarchy and management, and professionalism in the law. Generally, the second hour of the seminar includes a guest speaker who assists the students in exploring the variety of career opportunities in Washington, DC specifically, and in the law in general.
