  • Submitting this form does not constitute approval for placements or constitute course registration (completed in MyRed)
  • Your electronic signature here is considered verified by your username on the Nebraska network. Please be sure to register using your Huskers email account. 
  • Review the FAQ for questions on hours and class time before submitting this form. 
  • Students should email-introduce their supervisor to Elsbeth Magilton before the start of the position to ensure they are in contact and have the correct information.
  • You will be tasked with developing more specific educational goals prior to start of class. Details will be made available in Canvas.

Is the proposed onsite supervisor a licensed attorney? Required
If the onsite supervisor is not a licensed attorney the Director of Externships must approve that work still meets the standards for legal academic credit and submit their decision to the faculty Curriculum Committee.

It is also required that students email-introduce their supervisor to Elsbeth Magilton before the start of the position to ensure they are in contact and to facilitate any necessary site visits.
I recognize that this form does NOT register me for the appropriate credit hours and that I must register for my hours in MyRed after this form has been accepted. Required
