What is the future of worker power in the US? On the one hand, the last several decades have been characterized by declining labor power and legal retrenchment. Private sector union membership is at an all-time low, and the Supreme Court recently dealt a major blow to public sector unions. “Right to work” laws, and a raft of other rules make the legal environment inhospitable to organizing and help explain some of labor’s decline.

The Prosecution Externship is a clinic that places YLS students at the New Haven State's Attorney's Office and the District of Connecticut U.S. Attorney's Office during the academic year.
Students assist the offices in drafting memos, motions, warrants, and other documents; observe trials; and perform arraignments and other court proceedings (if desired). Interested students can also work on the civil side at the U.S. Attorney's Office. Students have substantial discretion over the matters they choose to work on.
