King Hall Joins UCDC Law Program in Washington, D.C.
A new externship program gives King Hall students the opportunity to see firsthand how laws are made and changed in the nation's capital.
The UCDC Law Program is a uniquely collaborative semester-long externship program in Washington, D.C. It will combine a weekly seminar with a full-time field placement to offer King Hall students an unparalleled opportunity to learn how federal statutes, regulations, and policies are made, changed, and understood in the nation's capital. Students are eligible for placement in congressional offices on Capitol Hill, the U.S. Department of Justice, regulatory agencies, advocacy nonprofits and more.
"The UCDC program is a tremendous opportunity for King Hall students to learn the theory and practice of Washington lawyering," says Senior Assistant Dean of Student Affairs Hollis Kulwin. "It's a great fit for any student who wants to gain firsthand experience in the areas of public interest law and public policy."
The program currently includes law students from U.C. Berkeley and UCLA. Students from UC Davis will join the program in Spring 2010, with students from UC Irvine joining in Spring 2011.
King Hall students (second and third-year) can apply for the UCDC Law Program now.
