The Clinic class meets once a week for two hours at the Legal Aid offices. Students are also required to work six hours a week at Legal Aid on their cases. The class component will focus on standards of high quality representation, Texas landlord-tenant laws, eviction defenses, the Fair Housing Act and federal housing programs. A syllabus from last year's Clinic may be obtained by calling Fred Fuchs at 447-7707, ext. 311, and clearly leaving your name and mailing address.
Enrollment is by application only.
Students must have completed 43 hours before enrolling. Under the supervision of the clinical instructor, students will represent low income immigrants in immigration proceedings.

Classes will be held at the Law School. Students should expect to spend 10-12 hours per week on the Clinic.
