Appellate Clinic Seminar 2

THIS CLASS IS RESTRICTED to students who have applied to and been accepted by the Appellate Clinic. It is a continuation of the companion seminar that clinic students took in the fall to support their client work. The seminar provides substantive and skills-based training that will support your client work. Seminar focuses on the mechanics of written and oral appellate advocacy and the substantive areas of law the clinic is currently litigating. Seminar addresses each stage of the appellate process so that students develop an understanding of how to litigate an appeal from start to finish. In the spring, seminar will focus on later stages of the appellate process including response and reply briefs, oral argument, and filing letters regarding supplemental authority. PRE/CO-REQUISITES: Professional Responsibility. Federal Courts is highly recommended as a pre-requisite or co-requisite, but is not required. NOTE: The Appellate Clinic counts towards the 6 credit Experiential Learning requirement. GRADING NOTICE: This course does not offer the CR/NC/H option.
