In collaboration with Fairleigh Dickinson University, Schenck Price created its first-ever Pre-Law and Legal Studies Externship in 2020. To welcome our fourth class of externs, Schenck Price attorneys hosted a semester kickoff lunch today and shared insights about their legal careers and life at our firm. 

The Pre-Law and Legal Studies Externship is designed to offer a select group of students a hands-on, supervised learning experience in a law firm setting. Through experiences with a dedicated team of Schenck Price attorneys, the students:

• increase their substantive legal knowledge;

• advance their knowledge about the practice of law;

• understand the day-to-day responsibilities of attorneys;

• learn how attorneys apply the law to everyday situations;

• get a sense of different practice areas; and

• better understand what clients’ needs are and how attorneys address them.
