Criminal Defense Practicum – Summer Semester

The Criminal Defense Practicum – Summer Semester is designed for students who plan to work in a public defender officer and are seeking course credit. Students will arrange their own public defender internship and are required to work a minimum of 20 hours per week. The program is remote and there is no weekly seminar, and so students can work in a public defender office anywhere in the country. There are regular assignments and remote meetings with the instructor throughout the semester.

There are no prerequisites. CDP – Summer Semester is also available to students who have previously taken CDP 1 or CDP 2. 2, 3, or 4 credits.
