Please note that each student must make a 2-semester commitment , to ensure that he or she can take a case from start to finish. This class qualifies for the 60-credit rule. The class will have one weekly large group section and one weekly discussion section. In the large group section, students will study appellate procedure, the ethics of appellate representation, issue spotting, and persuasion. At the same time, students will be meeting their appeal clients, reading transcripts, and analyzing their cases in the discussion sections.
Credits are variable depending on how much work each student's appeal requires.
