Mobilization for Justice’s Externship Program enables associates from private law firms to work in MFJ’s practice areas on four-to-six-month rotations. Externs receive supervision and training from MFJ Supervising Attorneys on all aspects of litigation and carry a full caseload. A one-week overlap at the end of each rotation enables the outgoing extern to transfer all of his or her cases to the incoming extern. Currently two law firms–Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP and Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP–participate in the program.
