• investigating and remedying unfair labor practices by employers and unions.

For more information on this externship, please logon to MYLAW (the Blackboard portal), go to the QuickLinks tab and select "Externships".

Students are assigned to one of three attorney-supervised teams. Initially, students observe staff attorneys as they investigate and process unfair labor practice (ULP) and representation cases. If a representation hearing or ULP trial occurs during their work time, students are encouraged to attend to the extent they have time to do so. Once properly trained, students will be assigned to assist attorneys by interviewing witnesses, taking affidavits, researching legal issues and attending and participating in decisional agendas with the Regional Attorney and Regional Director. Students may be assigned their own ULP cases depending on the availability of appropriate cases. They also may participate in conducting a NLRB representation election on the premises of an employer. Students are closely mentored by experienced staff attorneys at all times.

This externship is graded on a Pass/D or Fail basis.
