LAW 792 - North Carolina Public Policy Integrated Externship

Institution:

Duke University

Subject:

Law

Description:

The North Carolina Public Policy Integrated Externship provides Duke Law students with a unique opportunity to learn how state legislation and policy is made by participating in the process itself. The centerpiece of this course is an externship placement with one of the following: the North Carolina General Assembly, an executive branch agency, or a nonprofit working on public policy issues in Raleigh. Students are expected to find their own placement, but faculty are available to assist you to identify opportunities. What you are learning through the externship will be grounded and put in context through a seminar led by Professor Deborah Ross, a member of the NC House of Representatives, that is expected to meet every other week throughout the semester. This is a two-credit course and students will be required to provide at least 50 hours of service to their placement site over the course of the semester. There will not be a final exam, but students will have periodic writing assignments, including a bi-weekly reflection journal. 2 credits. Andrew Foster and Deborah Ross
