The University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law Asper Judicial Fellowship Program offers opportunities for law students to obtain credit for supervised law-related work with state and federal judges. Asper Judicial Fellowships are one of many types of externships offered by the Carey School of Law. Asper Fellowships are named in memory of the late Professor Lewis D. Asper and are intended to expose students to the practical workings of the legal system and to help students develop insights into the process of judicial decision-making. Students participating in the Asper Program are required to enroll in the related Asper Judicial Fellowship Workshop.
