Admittance into the Clinical Programs is based on a lottery. Details are available at If you have already taken a clinic but would like to take another, you may apply but will be placed into a clinic (or on a wait list) only after the students who have not yet taken a clinic are placed.
Applications for Summer term and Fall semester are usually available by the first week in March and due mid-month. Applications for the Spring semester are available in early October and due mid-month. Watch your UBalt e-mail account for more information on application availability and deadlines.

After you have made your initial appointment with your faculty, your name will be added to the Clinic Permissions List in and you may register. If you experience any problems registering, call Laura Garcia 410.837.5659 to confirm that your name has been added.
All the clinics are in-house law firms at the law school. You will be supervised by full-time faculty, and you will work with clients of the clinic. You will be a Rule 19-220 student attorney, licensed to practice law while enrolled in the clinic. In an externship, you will be working for a judge or for an attorney at a law office outside the law school. In general, you will have less responsibility for cases and clients in an externship. Both clinics and externships have a weekly classroom component. Both clinics and externships satisfy part or all of the experiential requirement for graduation. Clinics generally require more time and provide more credits. You may take both an externship and a clinic, but you should not take them simultaneously.
