Our experiential learning and skills training programs include a large number of externship opportunities: field placements outside the Law School, where students receive academic credit, but not compensation, for their work. Many of these externships are clinical course offerings, supervised by clinical or adjunct faculty members. Others are student-initiated externships in the legal departments of government or nonprofit agencies or in-house legal departments at corporations. To participate, students must have completed their first year of law school.
A student's eligibility to participate in any Law School internship or externship program is contingent on the student's being in good standing, both academically and with respect to disciplinary matters. A student's placement in an internship or externship program may be denied or revoked if the Law School determines that a student's conduct or academic performance makes that placement inappropriate for any reason.

Law Externship Program:
In the fall of 2011, the Law School began a new externship initiative, allowing students to apply for a broad range of potential externship opportunities at government agencies, non-profit organizations and corporate legal departments and, if approved for enrollment in the Law Externship program by the Externship Director within the first two weeks of the semester, to receive appropriate academic credit for participation. The point of contact for this initiative is Externship Director Jane Heymann, Room 5103 (firstname.lastname@example.com).
In order to receive academic credit for an externship, a student must devote a minimum of 45 hours of work for each academic credit, and must submit periodic reports on the externship experience, including a final paper reflecting upon the value of the externship. Students enrolled in the Law Externship course for academic credit may not receive compensation for their work at the externship site, but can be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the field placement.
Since the fall of 2011, students have completed externships, or are currently working as externs, at a wide variety of organizations, including but not limited to:
- the Wisconsin Department of Revenue
- the IRS Office of Chief Counsel's Milwaukee regional office
- the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Wisconsin
- the Oneida Tribal Court
- the Public Defender Service for the District of Columbia
- the Office of the Governor of Wisconsin
- Gathering Waters Conservancy
- the Dane County Corporation Counsel
- Clean Wisconsin
- the Wisconsin Public Defender's Office
- the Federal Defender's Office
- University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics
- the Stockbridge-Munsee Community
- the Wisconsin Department of Financial Institutions
- the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Chicago, IL regional office
- the Ho-Chunk Nation Legislature/Legislative Counsel's Office
- the Wisconsin Institute for Healthy Aging
- ABC for Health
- the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's Chicago regional office
- the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia
- the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources
- the Freedom From Religion Foundation
- the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction
- the Waukesha County Corporation Counsel
- the Greater Wisconsin Agency on Aging Resources (GWAAR)
- the Illinois Attorney General's Office
- the University of Wisconsin-Madison Office of Legal Affairs
- the Legal Aid Society of New York
Students interested in a field placement for credit are encouraged to meet with Ms. Heymann to discuss which organizations might be the best fit for the student's career goals and interests. For-credit externships can be arranged during the spring, summer and fall semesters. In addition, for students with some flexibility, school-year externships outside of Wisconsin can be arranged, and it is possible for a student to earn as many as 12 credits for an externship if the student works virtually full-time at, e.g., a federal agency in D.C. or at one of the agency's regional offices in some other city. An excellent resource for learning about which agencies operate externship programs for law students during the fall and spring semesters is the Government Honors and Internship Handbook, a password-protected online publication that the UW Law School Office of Career and Professional Development subscribes to -- students may obtain the username and password from the OCPD.
Set forth below is a list of just some of the many organizations that have established externship programs for law students. They are divided into a list of organizations within the State of Wisconsin where students might consider externships, followed by a list of organizations outside of Wisconsin that host law student externs. The possible externship placements, however, are by no means limited to the organizations on these lists -- students are encouraged to propose externships at organizations and agencies that offer the sort of experience and skills training that the students are most interested in obtaining. If a student is interested in arranging for an externship at an agency or organization that has not previously hosted UW Law School student externs, the agency or organization will be asked to complete and submit an application form. Whenever possible, externship opportunities that we become aware of will also be posted in the Job Bank on Symplicity.

The law student would assist the General Counsel and compliance department with respect to the application of new and proposed laws and regulations, ongoing compliance duties in the areas of email reviews and securities trade confirmations, and other legal and compliance matters. The level of interaction with the General Counsel and compliance staff would be extensive, and the General Counsel will provide the law student with substantive feedback on all projects.

Madison in 1946, WPS Health Solutions is the parent company of WPS Insurance
Corporation, a not-for-profit health insurer, Arise Health Plan, a Wisconsin
HMO, and Epic Specialty Benefits, a life/dental/vision benefits company.

The legal extern will work most closely with the Senior Associate General Counsel, the Associate General Counsel, and the two Staff Counsel. He/she can expect to interact with these attorneys on a daily basis and receive work assignments from all of them.
It is anticipated that the legal extern will have the opportunity to:
Review/analyze legal issues and questions submitted by internal departments on topics ranging from contract negotiation and drafting, labor relations/NLRB compliance, employment/HR issues, insurance regulation, government contracting, record retention, compliance with state/federal laws and regulations including the Affordable Care Act, privacy/HIPAA concerns, garnishment and tax levy responses; assist in preparing responses to demand letters, small claims lawsuits, administrative complaints; complete first round of review/revisions to corporate contracts; attend grievance/appeal hearings along with one of the two attorneys who serve as legal advisors to the grievance/appeal committee and research any legal issues that arise; and participate in the Legal Impact Team, which monitors pending/new legislation, case law developments, etc. and assesses their impact on WPS and its operations.
The company is flexible but would prefer a student who could work at least 6 hours a week for at least ten weeks. We have a high volume of work opportunities, so the credit-level would only be limited by student availability.
Interested students should submit a letter of interest and resume via email to Attorney Erin Keesecker, firstname.lastname@example.com. If you are offered and decide to accept this externship opportunity, contact Externship Director Jane Heymann at firstname.lastname@example.com to make arrangements to enroll in the Law Externship course for the spring 2017 term.
Wisconsin Department of Health Services, Division of Public Health
Summer 2016 externship opportunity: The Division of Public Health within the Department of Health Services works to assure that everyone lives better, longer. As part of that mission the Department relies upon a variety of laws and administrative rules, as well as guidance to local health departments in support of their local ordinance development. The Division is currently working towards accreditation for state public health agencies through a national accrediting body (Public Health Accreditation Board). There are several requirements related to public health laws that the Division must meet in order to achieve accreditation. The Division is responsible for inventorying and establishing review procedures for these laws as well as identifying Division procedures for providing input on legislation affecting public health proposed by the legislature.
A law student under the direction of the Office of Legal Counsel attorneys assigned to the Division could learn about the complexity of state and local public health laws while helping to assure that the Division is well positioned for meeting accreditation requirements. In addition, two of the key administrative rules supporting the functions of local public health agencies within the state public health system are currently open for revision. The process for engagement of stakeholders, inclusion of public input, and shepherding rules through the State's rule revision process has several opportunities for a law student to serve a meaningful role while learning about this process from the inside.
A University of Wisconsin Law School student who is offered this opportunity in the summer of 2016 could do the work for academic credit, through the Law Externship course; or could do the work on a volunteer basis and apply for funding through the Law School's Summer Public Service Fellowship program. If you are offered this externship and would like to do it for academic credit, please contact Jane Heymann, Externship Director, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Wisconsin Institute for Healthy Aging, Madison, WI
The Wisconsin Institute for Health Aging, www.wihealthyaging.org, a non-profit organization based in Madison, dedicated to bringing evidence-based health promotion programs in healthy aging, is looking for two law students interested in elder law and/or health law to do research. WIHA is looking for a law student to research the Affordable Care Act to identify areas where the law provides incentives for health care organizations to sponsor and offer health promotion/prevention programs as well as opportunities for reimbursable services in prevention for older adults (e.g., falls prevention, managing chronic conditions, diabetes management, medication management, caregiving, etc.). They are also looking for someone (perhaps the same person) to research the process and design a business plan for seeking Medicare/Medicaid/private insurer reimbursement to health care providers and/or WIHA for offering some of the WIHA's evidence-based prevention programs, specifically in falls prevention, chronic disease self-management, and diabetes self-management.
The supervising attorney, Ms. Abramson, indicates that she will meet with the student in person, design a work plan and timetable, give the student some background and head them off in some of the right directions, and then expect regular outlines, updates and ultimately a completed legal memo on each topic. In exchange, the student would have a paper for a real organization that they could use in their "portfolio" to show their stuff and, hopefully, a well-deserved very positive letter of reference from Ms. Abramson.
This opportunity is available to 2Ls and 3Ls either as a volunteer opportunity, or as a for-credit externship opportunity. If you are offered this position and would like to obtain academic credit for your work, please contact Jane Heymann, the Law School's Externship Director, at email@example.com.
Applicants should provide a resume and a cover letter (two page maximum) to Ms. Abramson that explains why he/she is interested in the externship (substantive issues, skills or both) and how the individual believes this externship will be a valuable component of his or her legal education; the skills and experiences that the applicant would bring to the externship; the skills and experiences the individual hopes to gain from the experience; and an example of a situation where the applicant worked with modest or minimal supervision and kept him/herself on track to meet project/work goals.

It's a juxtaposition of imagination and creativity along with advertising and marketing. Web videos are directing them right to the purpose of the post that is ultimately just the things they wish. Another service that lots of production companies provide is training video filming and editing.

For my better understanding, we are talking about feeding the V200 with USB-Module via iTunes on a Mac or PC?
Because I´m not sure, if this happens with e.g. the DAC800 connected via Coax or Toslink with a CD-Player.

because there is a gradual transient between tracks if u don't switch, go, forward backwards between tracks yourself, even just sliding fwd bck in one track makes clicks in players that doesn't have fade, using v200 that is
it doesn't matter, at least in my case, if it's digital coax or usb, in v800, rca analog out to v200, the clicks r always there if i use v200 and players without fade, like foobar with kernel streaming or vlc, as opposed to winamp or foobar with direct sound in which case fade is applied before cutting, starting the signal, so there r not clicks
it's like the dust on vinyl clicks
i use v800 to v200, rca analog, and tried m-audio fast track ultra to v200, rca analog, in both cases the clicks r present, but a little attenuated not so fast attacking with the m-audio,
so the clicks are most probably just the v200 preamp gain amp section being very hi-fi and uber quick in correctly amplifying the signal presented to it, or it just doesn't turn itself on/off, when the D/A signal starts/stops, or maybe because it actually is turning itself on/off, could be any of these reasons
in this case a sudden rise from 0V to Vx or drop from Vx to 0V in the signal
that's why there is no audible click when switching between low volume parts of the tracks, or if you set the volume fairly low in your player, or when a track ends and another start without switching yourself fwd bck from/to a loud section
if u hear no clicks it's either because u r using software fade, or using a source that fade, or ur amp is not as hi-fi as the v200
if it does not clicks it's not uber hi-fi ;)
i don't know exactly how the d/a pre and amp r configured or working together in the v200
so i can't give a technical scientifically exact explanation to where and why the clicks forms, ask the people from the lake
now i'm gonna enjoy Ryoji Ikeda 'no' Dataplex from my uber hi-fi can amp that is the v200
Edited by roskodan - 2/18/13 at 1:45pm
Thank you, roskodan, for your detailed explanation.
I think in a few days I have an answer from Fried Reim and I will report here.
And now I´m enjoying Ziggy Stardust :-) with the wonderful V200 and trying to ignore the clicks.

My guess is that it has something to do with the Tenor USB chip (7022 IIRC). The TE8802 in my NFB-17.2 does the same, whereas my Hiface Two with the XMOS chip is hardly noticeable using the same DAC.

You can verify this with fried reim.
Hi to all !
I´m new to this forum and want to send many greetings from Germany.
I´m operating the V200 with my Audeze LCD-2 and for me, it´s a wonderful combo.
The only thing is, that the built-in USB-DAC has a clicking sound between two tracks while listening via my macbook pro and iTunes. I hate this and it´s really disturbing!
So I have to search this forum to find some similar experiences with this problem.
Otherwise I have to take plan B (V800...)

must be related to any usb and/or maybe the D/A , my m-audio ftu usb do the same,
while connecting my v200 via rca to analog out of my mbp headphones jack using wasapi foobar cs4206a ab39 doesn't result in any clicking whatsoever
but it's interesting how there is clicking, while using usb and/or maybe the D/A, only when interrupting the signal when it's fairly loud, like its volume, of the click, is proportional to the volume of the output signal in the moment of the interruption of the same
another thing is that the same clicking is present, if using wasapi or ds without fade, while connecting pc opt digital out to v800 opt in and than out to v200 rca analog, the possibilities are 2, the v800 usb component is active in the optical digital path of the v800 too, or the actual clicks are actually something within the D/A and/or further down the chain
and it clicks when switching between opt and coax digital streams on the v800 too

Is aphroditecu29 the only vendor to buy the V200 new? His website looks kinda silly. I'm looking to get this amp for the TH900. Having a hard time trying to find one in the US.

You can order directly from Violectric. Even with shipping, it is cheaper than buying from ACu29. Although, depending on your city and state, you might get slapped with import taxes.

I've had the v200 for couple months now and the v800 for a week now. Really loving the combo.
They really complement each other. I think this is the best amp and dac I've had so far. Very content with both.
The amp is musical but not colored and the dac resolving but not clinical. Together, they present the music in a very lively, detailed and holographic way.
Got to thank all those who review here like project86 for introducing gear like this.

Any word on the new balanced amp yet?
Not that I've heard. Fried mentioned a bunch of ideas for new products - the latest he talked about was expanding the DAC line to include lower priced models (maybe branded as Lake People models but I'm not sure) as well as a flagship design positioned higher than the V800. But these were all just ideas and I have no clue when or if any of them will actually launch.
Fried hasn't mentioned the new high end amps in a while. I'm not sure they are even in the works at this point. But he could surprise us, you never know.

Co-op Partners Thread (Read First Post!)
Co-op Partners Thread
What your post should at least include (but not limited to):
Please keep all discussions and planning in the coop boosting thread. Please do not create another thread if you're looking for a partner. another thread.
Since there are 21 trophies for co-op alone in portal 2 I was thinking this forum needs a a co-op thread for people who are getting Portal 2 next week!
Also use this thread to communicate with each other for these trophies in particular:
Professor Portal:
For this trophy people who have completed co-op (ie completed all 5 courses which includes 35 co-op chambers) needs to find a player who has never finished the first course in co-op: the calibration course. Please indicate when posting if you have completed the calibration course yet or need this trophy. To help out please do not start the co-op until you find a partner who has completed all courses in co-op (first few people in this thread should not worry)
Friends List with Benefits:
For this trophy you will need to hug 3 people in co-op who are also on your friends list. So whenever you are playing in co-op be sure to add the friend on PSN beforehand and hug them. In your post please indicate if you need to be hugged :3
Please use this thread and post your PSN and when you might be available for co-op play during the week so that we can buddy up. I have included SteamID just in case it is needed. For the Full trophy list see PS3Trophies.org - Portal 2 Trophies
Example profile:
PSN: RandomName
SteamID: Steamrocks
Progress: Course 4 Completed
Needs to be Hugged: Yes (hugged twice so far)
Other Trophies Needed: All co-op trophies needed besides course trophies.
Playtimes: Sometime o'clock
