    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.

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.
