Community Justice & Legal Assistance Clinic
Client Representation

Each student works with individual clients during the semester, handling all phases of representation, such as interviewing, counseling, investigation, document drafting, courtroom advocacy and negotiation.

Types of cases vary, but may include foster care and adoption; parole and probation; child custody; visitation; support; housing; consumer; education; or abuse and neglect. 

Students appear in state civil, criminal and family courts as well as before administrative bodies. Regular individual and group supervision meetings are required, and all aspects of representation are supervised by clinical faculty.
