DESCRIPTION:
M. O'Neill said Read it ahead of time.. Like so many law students, I have an externship this summer. Yay! Like so many law students I have a boring class that accompanies that externship. Boo! This book is the textbook for that snooze of a class.The book is good. It would be very helpful to at least read the first few chapters before you start that way you avoid making the common mistakes that seem to plague first time externs. I will admit to making such. "Ugh." according to Jane Catherine. If you have ever worked in a professional environment before coming to law school, this book is a total snooze fest. If you have not worked in a professional environment before school, and have any common sense, this is a snooze fest. Its ridiculous that the advice follows along the lines of "be on time", "dress professionally", "have a great attitude".I think the externship advisors would be better served making a . "If you need it for class, then yes buy it" according to The Traveler. Otherwise, not worth your money. it tells you common sense stuff like how to talk with your supervisor. For what it's worth, it does a good job at what it purports to do: show you how to learn from internships.
Chapters are designed for convenient use in a single class session, and the book offers a menu of topics among which teachers can choose to match the objectives for their particular externship course.. It now includes several additional chapters written by contributing authors new to this edition, including a chapter on judicial externships, expanded material on ethical issues in externships, a chapter on creative problem solving, and a chapter on learning practical judgment. The new edition of this popular textbook for externship seminars has been revised and updated
