In the June 2nd asunews.asu.edu article, ''Students gain experience, land jobs through law externships'', Professor Orde Kittrie of the College of Law was quoted as saying: ''The program's success in turbo charging students' careers is a result both of the program's design and also of the hard work that goes into helping students identify and land placements in legal offices of interest to them. The program courses and special programs are all designed to help students acquire an insider's view of law and policy-making in the nation's capital, build skills and connections that will be valued by employers in the D.C. area and elsewhere, and give students the tools and confidence to make a difference on issues they care about.''

Jared Allen participated in the Spring 2010 D.C. program as a second-year law student. He had an externship for the counsel to the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, a not-for-profit organization with over 400,000 members. The counsel hired Allen for the summer, and extended an offer to him to return when he finishes law school, which he accepted.


Allen was quoted as saying: ''I've been flying since I was about 14, and I was interested in aviation law. There are only so many places where you can practice that.''

Kittrie was quoted as saying: ''To Jared's credit, he took the ball we handed him and ran with it all the way to the end zone. We help create the opportunities, and coach the students on how to make the most of them, but it is ultimately the students themselves who must impress their supervisors sufficiently to land a job offer.''

Sandra Day O'Connor College of Law is one of the graduate schools at Arizona State University. The school is a member of the Order of the Coif, the most distinguished honor given to American law schools. It was renamed in 2006 in honor of retired United States Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor.

According to information at the organization's website, The Washington Center was founded 35 years ago, and is the largest independent, nonprofit academic internship program in the country.
