Courses & Clinics
CLINICS
Under the supervision of an attorney, students perform the lawyer functions associated with their cases, including client and witness interviews, factual development, legal research, preparation of pleadings and negotiation. Students with third-year practice certification may also be responsible for courtoom advocacy. Clinics can offer students valuable public service experience and provide important networking contacts.
