Real-Client Training
Students work in a variety of real-client environments to develop practical skills
in real-world lawyering contexts. At Seton Hall, that includes externships, pro bono
services, and clinics.
Earn Credit Through Externships
Students work alongside practicing attorneys and gain direct work experience while
earning two academic credits. Externships are available with approved not-for-profit
and government organizations, entertainment companies, and state and federal judges.

Make a Difference with the Pro Bono Service Program
Starting as early as their first year, students can gain exposure to on-the-ground
lawyering while positively impacting someone’s life. The program allows students to
volunteer at a not-for-profit or government organization based on a diverse range
of interests, including consumer rights, tenant advocacy, criminal justice, mental
health, and youth programs. Learn More
Serve the Community Through our Clinics
Students move from the classroom to the real world, representing clients and handling
cases from start to finish. The majority of our clinical courses take place through
the Center for Social Justice. Students may also participate in conflict management clinics, representing real
clients in mediations in federal court or in claims before the Financial Industry
Regulatory Authority (aka “FINRA”). Learn More
