Student drafters work with state senators and representatives, mayors, city councils, administrative agencies, and public interest groups to create legislative solutions to problems. Drafters select their projects from a wide range of topic areas. Successful completion of the research report satisfies the Upperclass Writing Requirement.
Drafters work closely with clients, editors, and faculty.
Weekly seminars, small critique group meetings, and individual attention from editors support drafters in their client work. The Legislation Clinics include the General Legislation clinic, the Intellectual Property Legislation clinic, and the Health Legislation clinic. Drafters selected for the Legislation Clinics may enroll in any one of these three clinics. Drafters in the Intellectual Property Legislation and Health Legislation clinics may count the clinic toward the Concentration in Intellectual Property or the Concentration in Health Law. Forms are available in Room 1120 and will be available on line soon.
