in the School of Law
Description: This clinic focuses on the roles of lawyers in reducing violence in our society as prosecutors, advisors, mediators, planners, teachers/mentors, and house counsel. During the year, students will work sequentially and/or contemporaneously in the following components: community prosecution, community justice council, school conflict resolution projects, youth advocacy/law/leadership programs, and business development. The weekly classes focus on skills relevant to legal work (including litigation, counseling, interviewing, mediation, problem-solving, fact-finding, research, and writing skills), the community and organizational-development roles of lawyers, methods of alternative-dispute resolution, the criminal justice system, theories of justice, professional responsibility issues, youth-advocacy, and basic principles of non-profit law.
