Credits: 6 max (Certified), 3 max (Not Certified) 

All students will generally assist attorneys in their representation or prosecution of criminal defendants, and may conduct fact investigation, process discovery, interview clients or witnesses, research and draft memoranda or pleadings, and assist attorneys in court. Occasionally, appellate work is also included. In addition, students in the Certified program (i.e. working 20 or more hours per week and who have CLI status) may have the opportunity to advise clients, negotiate pleas, and appear on the record in limited motions, trials, or other courtroom activities (all based on student’s schedule and case availability). Students should generally schedule half-day or longer blocks of time for their site work; some morning hours are preferred.
