Clinical Programs: Justice for Children Practicum
Ensuring that children and their rights are taken seriously, the Justice for Children Practicum provides students with the opportunity to represent children in a variety of legal proceedings. The cases may include abuse and neglect, delinquency, status offense, custody, and termination of parental rights cases pending in various courts.
Team-taught by two members of the clinic faculty, the course includes two weekly class meetings that examine relevant legal doctrines and the ethical and strategic issues raised in representing clients in such proceedings.
