All Rights Reserved. Under the supervision of staff attorneys, students may prepare cases for and represent the Department at administrative hearings held at prisons. Students participating in administrative representation will review evidence, interview and examine witnesses, draft relevant pleadings, and make opening and closing arguments.
Typical cases involve the involuntary administration of psychiatric medications.
Students may also have the opportunity to represent the Department before the State Personnel Board on non-complex administrative hearings on employment issues. Students may also assist the attorneys in the Employment Law Unit with other litigation.
