LAW 967 - Advanced Clinic

1-4 Credit Hours

Advanced Clinic is intended to give a few students who have excelled in any clinical law course the chance to spend another semester doing more complex casework or projects for that clinic. Students will work under faculty supervision on more complicated cases and will shoulder more of the responsibility for those cases. Will give students a broader range of lawyering experience at a higher level of sophistication than is possible the first time through. Students are enrolled by invitation only, after having expressed interest to a clinical faculty member. Faculty and invited students work together to determine the number of credits to be awarded. Students working under faculty supervision will meet with professors for supervision to review their case plans, legal research, or project work. Further, Advanced Clinic students will meet together once a month during the semester to engage in a clinic rounds session or clinic workshop led by one of the clinic professors.
Repeatability: Not repeatable. May be taken once for 1-4 credit hours.
Credit Restriction: Although students may take Advanced Clinic for up to 4 credit hours, there is a strong presumption that students will enroll for no more than 2 credit hours unless, in the sole discretion of the clinic supervisor, there exists special circumstances requiring a greater time commitment on the part of the student (e.g., protracted litigation, particularly complex legal issues, etc.).
Comment(s): Must have previously completed another law clinic course.
Registration Permission: Consent of Instructor
