This clinic offers both a seminar component on appellate procedure, strategy and applicable substantive law, as well as a carefully supervised practice component. Students will represent clients in state or federal appellate court, writing at least one appellate brief and participating in oral argument.
Enrollment is limited to eight students.
When registering, students must commit to enrolling for two quarters and will receive credit for the course only upon completion of two quarters. Students will be selected for this clinic through an application process which will consist of a brief questionnaire and, in some cases, faculty interviews. Students must be qualified for admission under Rule 9 of the Washington State Admission to Practice Rules. Enrollment priorities for clinics apply. Law B521, Appellate Advocacy, is a prerequisite.
