Indiana Supreme Court > Supreme Court Externships Supreme Court Externships

The Supreme Court of Indiana has opportunities for externs to work directly with three of the five Justices of the Court. Each extern will perform a variety of tasks.

Eligibility. Externship positions are available to students who have completed the first year of law school.

Compensation. Externships are unpaid.  If an extern desires internship/externship or similar education credits for their participation, they must coordinate with their law schools.

Applications. Each Justice of the Supreme Court makes his or her own decisions on selecting externs according to each Justice's own policies and procedures. Some Justices have specific application requirements, so please review the information below for each Justice. Typically, applications for externships include the following materials:

  1. A cover letter;
  2. A resume;
