CLINICS

LAW REFORM ADVOCACY CLINIC

The Law Reform Advocacy Clinic is now representing a Guantanamo detainee in a habeas corpus case challenging his medical treatment. Next semester, three students, authorized to practice under the Student Practice Rule of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, will be representing the client in proceedings in that court. Work will potentially include drafting of legal memoranda and briefs, negotiations with Government attorneys, and oral argument. This case requires the work of highly motivated students who are up to the challenge of tackling a high-profile case. Trial practice experience (e.g., Mock Trial, Trial Team, Moot Court Team, or Trial Techniques) is strongly recommended.

Maximum Enrollment: 3 Students
