Students will be trained in essential lawyering skills and trial advocacy techniques. For fieldwork purposes students will be assigned seven office hours per week at the clinic. Students can expect to spend an additional ten to twelve hours per week, on average, on their client representation work. The fieldwork is complemented by a weekly seminar. This course will satisfy the Law School's upper-level Professional Responsibility requirement.
Enrollment is limited to six students.
Students who take Immigration Law, or who took the course last year, will have the opportunity to do clinical work for two extra credits this fall. This is an optional add-on to the regular course. There is a limit of 15 students for this Practicum. Enrollment is separate from the Immigration Law course. Students will be able to choose the type of work which most interests them and will be specially trained and supervised.
