What Is a Directed Intern?
A directed internship is available to Clinic interns who have successfully completed a semester as a regular intern in the Law Clinic. Directed Interns are assigned cases just as regular interns, they must keep regular office hours but do not have to attend the large group classes. Directed interns may enroll in 1 to 3 credit hours.
