Professor Stefan H. Krieger, Attorney-in-Charge
Maximum Enrollment: 6 Students
Next semester, students in the Law Reform Advocacy Clinic will be preparing for a jury trial in a major civil rights case in federal district court. They will prepare cross examinations of witnesses, craft the opening statement and closing argument, draft pre-trial motions and briefs, interview and counsel clients in the case, and negotiate with opposing counsel in preparation for the trial. Depending on the court’s schedule, this case will likely go to trial this semester. Attorneys and technical support staff at Nixon Peabody, LLC, the law firm co-counseling the case with the clinic, will be working with the students to moot examinations and prepare persuasive presentations to the jury.
