Course Description
In the Advanced Clinic, a small number of students who have completed the Systemic Justice Clinic will have the opportunity to engage in a more in-depth clinical experience. In the Advanced Clinic, students will further develop a matter, case, or project – in collaboration with a community organization, nonprofit legal provider, or other criminal legal reform stakeholder – making use of the skills and knowledge they have acquired during the preceding semester. Advanced students might work with students in the regular clinic, or separately.
