The clinic is also involved in producing educational materials on animal rights. Students work on projects addressing a range of issues, including animal experimentation, hunting, fur, and the use of animals in entertainment. There is also a weekly seminar during which general animal rights topics are discussed. Returning students may enroll for 2 or 4 credits. Part-time students may enroll only with the permission of the instructor and are expected to have sufficient flexibility in their other obligations so that they can handle daytime work, such as investigation, depositions, and court hearings when necessary.
Cases are primarily large ones, raising complex factual and legal issues.
Students work in teams supervised by clinical teachers and are involved in the strategy, development, and analysis of legal and factual issues and in research and writing of legal memoranda and briefs, as well as working with individual clients and client groups. As with all the clinics, students also participate in a seminar. The Constitutional Litigation Advocacy seminar combines substantive constitutional law, federal and state procedure, and litigation strategy and advocacy techniques. Students may sign up for a second clinic term if space is available. They are excused from those seminar sessions which would be repetitive and may elect 4 or 6 credits.
