Students must have one day per week available for court appearances and plan to devote approximately 20 hours per week to the clinic. Students must participate in the program for two consecutive semesters, beginning in either the summer or fall. Application must be made during the spring semester of the preceding academic year. This course may not be taken at the same time as Law 624 or any litigating activities in Law 632. Students may enroll concurrently in this course and Law 668 only with permission of both instructors.
Enrollment is limited, with selection by lottery.
Each year, a third-year student is chosen by Associate Dean Sirulnik and the clinical faculty to serve as student director, performing administrative duties in connection with the Administrative Advocacy and Civil Litigation Clinics. The student director assigns and supervises student caseloads, controls client intake, and acts as a liaison between law students and staff attorneys. The student director receives a partial scholarship.
