Site Visit Reports

The ABA requires that a faculty member make an on-site visit to each externship placement when students are granted in excess of six credits during the externship term. Therefore, guidelines have been formulated to help the faculty member prepare his/her report on the site visit. Through conversations with the attorney supervisor(s) and the student, the faculty member should determine:

• The nature and level of work done by the office.
   
• Assignments given to the student.
   
• Adequacy of supervision.
   
• The student's performance during the course of the externship.
   
• Whether that particular externship is of value sufficient to warrant repeating in subsequent terms.

The faculty member should document his/her impressions in a written report and submit it to the Office of Student Affairs (307 Hutchins Hall) to become part of the student's external studies file.
