Legal externships (summer opportunities), field placements (in-semester opportunities), and clinical courses all fall under the umbrella of "experiential learning." Experiential learning courses integrate doctrine, theory, skills, and legal ethics, and engage students in performance of one or more professional skills while working on-site in a live legal setting. An experiential learning placement provides a student with a substantial lawyering experience under the supervision of a licensed attorney. A substantial lawyering experience may include a variety of tasks as long as it is reasonably similar to the experience of a lawyer advising or representing a client or engaging in other lawyering tasks.
