In many cases, students who have taken certain recommended courses prior to the third year receive priority when clinic selections are made. In addition, certain Moot Court activities are credit-bearing, as is service as a Senior Fellow or a Trial Advocacy Fellow. Up to three credits are available for papers written as part of a directed research project with an individual faculty member.
More information is in the registration materials published each semester.
This course will afford clinical experience in the representation of clients before administrative agencies in rulemaking proceedings. Each student will represent a client in drafting and publishing a rulemaking petition, as well as presenting testimony and written comments to the agency. Students will receive supervision and direction in their representation of clients before agencies through individual conferences with the instructor. Students will present their rules to the class in a mock agency public hearing that will be videotaped. This course is offered each semester, and students need only make a one-semester commitment.
