Corporate Counsel Externship Program

Dear 2Ls & 3Ls,

Spring 2025 Corporate Counsel Externship Program (CCEP) applications are available now! Next semester, partner companies include Airbnb, Lyft, San Francisco Giants, Clorox, Stitch Fix, Athletics, Kaiser, Plaid, and more.  See the CCEP Sharknet page for the full list.

Program & Seminar Basics
Students earn 4-5 fieldwork credits working in-house at vetted non-profit and for-profit organizations. Additionally, they participate in a 2-unit weekly seminar that explores the role of corporate counsel, develops essential lawyering skills, and fosters the ability to self-direct and learn from practical experience.

For more information about the program and to apply, please review the Spring 2025 CCEP Student Information Packet and Application on the CCEP Sharknet page. The packet offers an overview of the program, outlines the application timeline, and provides detailed insights into each partner organization, including the type of work externs can expect. The application deadline is Friday, September 20, at 9:00 a.m. Late applications will not be accepted.

All applicants are required to have met with the Career Development Office (for a 45-minute appointment) to review a recent resume and cover letter (it need not be a resume or cover letter specifically for CCEP).  If you’ve met with CDO to review these documents during Summer 2024 or Fall 2024, you have satisfied this requirement, though a recent meeting with CDO specific to a position or program is always best.  You may meet with any CDO counselor, but the office has specific slots for CCEP applicants.  If you are having trouble finding an appointment, please email careers@uclawsf.edu.
