THIS CLASS IS RESTRICTED to students who have formally applied to and been accepted to the Access to Justice Clinic. This seminar examines the larger societal context of students' fieldwork representing poverty-law clients in family, housing, employment, and disability cases. Students will actively analyze and address the intersections of the legal system with the multiple systemic barriers their clients face (e.g., gender, race, class, disability). Students will learn the skills and legal knowledge relevant to representation of clinic clients (including client interviewing, client counseling, oral and written advocacy, and negotiation). PRE/CO-REQUISITES: Evidence and Professional Responsibility. NOTE: This course counts towards the 6 credit Experiential Learning requirement. GRADING NOTICE: This course does not offer the CR/NC/H option.
