Ms. Extern worked in excess of 120 hours during the semester.

She began by summarizing deposition testimony in a case presently in litigation. After about a week of reading and summarizing depositions, she was assigned to research and draft responses to dispositive motions in several cases.
During the final weeks of her externship, Ms.Extern researched the issues and prepared a draft motion for summary Judgment. [evaluation of work product] Ms. Extern demonstrated superior research skills in each assignment. She was confident and efficient in her use of both hardbound and lectronic resources.
When she was unfamiliar with some of the speciality resources, she readily sought guidance from her supervisor and was then able to work independently. Her written products were prepared thoughtfully, thoroughly, and without errors in either spelling or grammar.Her prose is clear, concise, and demonstrates a facility with language. When called upon to make oral presentations of her research to her supervisors, she did so with economy and thoroughness. [evaluation of interpersonal skills] Ms.

She leaves the externship with an excellent reputation for the courtesy and respect she shows to everyone.She appears confident and enthusiastic and is calm in the face of emergencies.
