Native Nation Externships

The externship program is designed to give law students a unique opportunity to gain real world experience by working and sometimes living in a Native Nation territory or reservation.

Native Nation Business Development Project

In partnership with UW Law School's Law and Entrepreneurship Clinic, this project assists Native Nations and their citizens in starting businesses and growing economic development in and near Native Nation territories or reservations, especially in the agriculture and food industries, as well as assisting Native Nations in developing appropriate legal infrastructure. If you are interested in participating in this program, please contact Dan Cornelius at daniel.cornelius@wisc.edu.
