The Georgetown Project on State and Local Government Policy and Law (SALPAL)
We believe in the value of state and local approaches to solving hard public policy problems. And where Georgetown Law graduates go, excellence goes, too.
At SALPAL, we give our students access to law school course offerings on state and local government law and policy. We help students seeking clinical opportunities, externships, summer positions and career opportunities in state courts, state legislatures and executive agencies, and associations.
We provide a Washington, DC-based forum for state and local government stakeholders and intergovernmental affairs experts.
Launched in 2019, we encourage you to reach out to us to learn more about our future plans.
Watch Former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe speak to the importance of State and Local governments in the current U.S. political crisis and the critical role they add to fighting hate crime and online extremist recruitment. For full video of the event click here.
