II. EXTERNSHIP Students ordinarily must complete one externship in the compliance or corporate responsibility fields. The externship may be paid. If taken for academic credit, students must be enrolled concurrently in the courses: Becoming a Lawyer for 1 credit course (classroom component) and Legal Externship for 2 or 3 credits (120 hours or 180 hours of fieldwork). Students must consult with CICR Director Sarah H. Duggin, or CICR Assistant Director John Polanin before selecting an externship and must obtain approval from the Director or Assistant Director for the field placement proposed to satisfy the experiential learning requirement. Evening students who have full-time jobs should consult with the Director/Assistant Director about this requirement.
Once students have been offered a placement, they must get the placement approved before accepting it. To begin the process of seeking academic credit, complete this application. After your application is approved by Professor Ross, sign the Site Supervisor, Faculty Supervisor and Extern Agreement with your Site Supervisor and email the agreement to Deborah Hawkins (hawkinsde@law.edu). Professor Ross will sign the agreement and a final copy will be uploaded to a Shared Google Drive folder assigned to you. Please refer to our Externship Information for Law Students page for a complete set of instructions on applying for externship credit and to review the Externship Program Student Handbook.
For additional information or advice regarding placement selection, contact Christopher Ross, Clinical Assistant Professor, at rosscs@cua.edu and (202) 319-6783.
III. WRITING PROJECT Students must complete a significant writing project on a CICR-related topic by doing a journal note, seminar paper, directed research project, or another writing project that satisfies at least one-half of the Upper Division writing requirement. Students should consult with the Director about the topic of the project for which they seek CICR credit.
IV. ELECTIVE COURSES In addition to the required courses, to obtain a CICR certificate students must complete two (2) elective courses related to the substance and legal skills encompassed by the CICR Program. Courses included in the list set forth below automatically qualify for CICR credit. However, this list is not intended to be exclusive, and students should bear in mind for planning purposes that the Law School’s course offerings change. Not all of the courses listed will be taught in any given year. With the Director’s approval, students may receive CICR credit for electives not included on this list provided that (1) the course content is reasonably related to the goals of the CICR Program and/or (2) taking the course would enhance legal skills related to working in the areas of compliance, investigations or corporate responsibility.
