LAW 7642 - Crimes Against Women Clinic

Credits: 6

Students enrolled in the Hunter Legal Center provide representation to survivors of gender-based harms, including domestic violence, sexual assault, and human trafficking. Student attorneys participate in a range of lawyering activities: client screening, individual client representation (in matters such as obtaining orders of protection, family law, humanitarian immigration claims, and postconviction relief), and representation of institutional clients seeking long-term solutions to the problem of violence against women. 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.
