In order for legal work to qualify, a student must work at least 75 hours under the supervision of a licensed lawyer. At least half of this work must have been doing legal tasks such as legal research, legal writing (such as writing memoranda and briefs), drafting (such as drafting motions, other court documents, contracts or will, or other documents for clients), interacting with clients, (such as interviewing them or attending meetings with them), or attending strategy meetings about how to assist clients. The other half must have given you the opportunity to observe the work of lawyers. Please note that some student legal work requires a legal intern license. If you have any question about your position qualifying for the Lawyering Requirement or requiring a legal intern license, consult with a member of the Center for Professional Development in advance.
By signing below, I certify that I have met the Lawyering Requirement by working at least 75 hours under the supervision of a licensed lawyer doing the tasks set out above.
