Arizona Court of Appeals Summer Judicial Externship Program
Summer Judicial Externship 

The Summer Judicial Externship Program provides diverse college-level students with a unique opportunity to build a substantial working knowledge of the role and functions of the Arizona Appellate Courts. The program offers a compelling study experience and valuable exposure to working in a professional environment in the State Courts Building located in downtown Phoenix. Special enrichment opportunities include attending court sessions, seminars organized by the Appellate Courts, as well as working on a current case. Diverse students are those who are historically underrepresented in the legal profession (generally based on race, ethnicity, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, socio-economic status, and national origin).
