LAW 3819 - Insurance Litigation and Corporate Practice Externship
This specialized externship is designed to provide students with a substantive educational experience in insurance law, while at the same time providing practical experience in the context of insurance defense litigation as well as in house at an insurance company. Exposure to insurance litigation and in-house practice is not an area in which students can traditionally gain experience in not-for-profit or government placements. Students will apply their training in the substantive law by working collaboratively with practicing industry specialists and expert insurance counsel to foster a broad growth of real-world knowledge and to learn practical aspects of handling corporate client matters, although none of the students’ work will be billable to paying clients. They will work on a variety of matters in both traditional and newly expanding legal and regulatory issues that confront the insurance industry. All work will be supervised by attorneys who are in the General Counsel’s Office of Countrywide Insurance and in an insurance defense law firm. Students will attend a two-hour seminar once per week, will have weekly supervision meetings, and will be expected to work 12 hours in the field placement.
