Who We Are

Cindy Wilson, Center for Externships Director

Cindy Wilson has taught in Northwestern Law's Center for Externships since 2000, and serves as the Center's director. A Northwestern Law alum herself, she discovered first-hand the importance of learning about and working on real cases as a law student, and how valuable those experiences would be as she began her career. "I understand what my students are experiencing, and having practiced for 15 years, I can help guide them around tricky areas of the law or provide help when they are struggling."
