This course requires students to work one full day/week in Richmond at the Department of Employee Relations Counselors, an agency which counsels state employees on work-related complaints, aspects of the grievance procedure, etc. Students will have opportunities to assist with adjudication and resolution of grievances, including investigating facts, applying the language of the grievance procedure, analyzing statutes and drafting rulings. Students may also be involved in the analysis of court decisions or other special projects as determined by the agency. Students should have a special interest in labor and employment law. Enrollment limited to two third-year students. In addition to attending classroom sessions and meeting the time commitment and work product requirements for the externship, documentation must be submitted. Requirements are outlined in a packet available on the handout shelf of the Law Library or through the Externship Manual on Blackboard in the OCS Resources for Students.
