Work on actual cases, in combination with faculty supervision sessions and the clinic seminar, allows students to hone a wide range of lawyering skills, both practical and analytical. Prerequisites: Completion of 44 hours and good academic standing. Corequisite: LAW 7350  Professional Responsibility. Recommended: LAW 8455  Evidence and LAW 6347  Family Law.
