Court cases now on screens, so are dozens of U of M law school externs
University of Memphis rising third-year law student Rachel Jackson is taking part in a FedEx Corp. externship program. U of M Law students need at least one externship to graduate. While no one is working face to face, the university has placed more students in work settings this year than last because employers said they would make it work remotely. (Mark Weber/Daily Memphian)
Judges, law clerks and private firms across the city have retooled their externship programs for this virtual age.
