Exchange students and LLMs may volunteer at nonprofit organizations and legislative placements. Individual placements may havemore specific requirements, including citizenship restrictions (common for federal & government agencies), background checks (common for federal& government or DAs), and course prerequisites.  \nCourse Requirements  \nRequirements: Students go to the placement each of at least 12 weeks during the 14-week semester. In addition, they attend oneof nine practice-area based, one-hour weekly classes. Some placements also have a regular on-site seminar for their own externs.  \nSelection Method  \nStudents apply to up to 5 job postings for approved placements in Symplicity. Placements receive the applications from Emory, conduct their selection processes independently, and provide theirselections back to Emory. Emory releases offers to students via Symplicity and manages the acceptance and registration process.  \nGrading  \nPass/fail, based on effort at the placement and performance in the companion course. Most are 3 credit hours for a total of 150 hours (including both fieldwork and coursework) . For 3Ls only, placements that can provide a distinct and significantly enhanced experience at higher levels of hours may be approved for up to 6 credit hours (50 hours per additional credit hour) .  \nSmall Firm Program  \nThis school-year program offers students an inside look at small-firm practice through work at select small firms, combined with a course on small-firm practice taught by faculty but featuring the insights of  \nthe host firms' attorneys.  \nEligibility  \n3Ls only (including AJDs in their second year at Emory), capped at 15 students. Individual placements may have additional eligibility requirements.  \nCourse Requirements  \nStudents go to the placement each of at least 12 weeks during the 14-week semester. In addition, they attend a one-hour weekly class focused on small-firm practice, where the content is provided by host firm attorneys. (Students must take this class, not any of the General externship classes.)  \nSelection Method  \nStudents apply to the program via the Small Firm externship job posting in Symplicity.
