In this clinic, students spend a semester clerking for a federal or state judge either in Missouri or Illinois. Students perform legal research and analysis, help to draft orders and opinions and observe hearings and trials in the courtroom. The course is limited to students who have completed all first-year course requirements and who are in good academic standing.
Priority is given to students with higher grade point averages.
This judicial clinic typically leads to a paid summer position with the same judge. Professor Barbara Gilchrist is the faculty supervisor for the Judicial Process Clinic.
