Detroit Mercy Law Students Complete Externships in Non-Profit Organizations

Over the summer, Detroit Mercy Law students completed externships at a number of non-profit organizations in and around Detroit.  

“My time with the Beaumont Corporate Compliance Team was very enlightening as to what compliance was and the specific intricacies involved with medical compliance. I also was exposed to and learned about corporate office structure and communication. It offered me a unique experience of applying what I had learned the year before and looking forward to learning more in the coming years based on what I gained from the position.” Louis Magidson '23, Beaumont Health  

“The negotiation skills and understanding of mediation I learned in my externship are transferable and valuable for the law firm work I hope to do. Coming to law school, I felt insecure about my inexperience in more professional roles. Externing allowed me to gain experience in a new world while still being a student and asking as many questions as I needed to. I learned how to thrive in a professional environment.” Navpreet Bains '23, Southeastern Dispute Resolution Services

“I worked alongside the Director of the William Booth Legal Aid Clinic as well as two staff attorneys who are both Detroit Mercy Law alumni. With their help, I drafted various motions, met with clients about family law issues, and was able to observe court hearings. I was even able to make my first court appearance. I got real-world experience in a setting where the attorneys were able to give me support and feedback.” Julianne Bursinger '23, Salvation Army William Booth Legal Aid Clinic
