2024-2025 Catalog

LAW-928 Galway Study Abroad Externship Program

Students work full-time under the supervision of an attorney in the placement organization, as well as by Instructor Mary Sawicki. The externship placements will be predominantly in the public interest arena, including non-profits and government-related organizations. To the extent possible, our Galway affiliates will place students in organizations in Ireland corresponding with the students respective practice areas of interests noted on the application. Among other areas, past placements have included rights-based work associated with immigrants, women, children, disability, minorities, as well as dispute resolution, the environment, and international and comparative law. Practice areas are not limited to the aforementioned list, so students should indicate on their application their areas of interest for the externship.
