Advanced Clinic
Advanced Clinic is designed to permit students to be awarded
academic credit under two distinct circumstances:
- Continued clinical participation involving activities of the
same type usually involved in the particular clinic performed
between semesters or at another time during which the
organized clinical program is not functioning. Such
participation is designed to maintain the flow and continuity
in the ongoing caseload of the clinic; or
- Advanced participation in existing cases of the clinical
program by a second-semester student.
Advanced Clinic is appropriate only for these situations. It is
not to be used to develop and award credit for work done on cases
that are not part of an organized clinical offering, nor is it to
be used to develop informal clinical arrangements involving
student work on cases not an integral part of regular clinical
offering.
Advanced clinic permission forms must be submitted before
registering for the course. Submitting the permission form does
not constitute registration for the course. Permission forms may
be picked up in the student affairs office,
TNH 2.117.
- Advanced Clinic credit may be awarded only to students who
have already completed a particular clinic for further work
participation in between semesters, or in a second semester
on especially difficult cases that are part of the caseload
of the clinic.
- An Advanced Clinic project may be supervised only by a
faculty member regularly engaged in legal clinical
education.
- Approximately sixty hours of participation by the student is
required for each hour of credit awarded.
- No more than an aggregate of three hours credit for Advanced
Clinic may be awarded to a student during a law school
career.
- An Advanced Clinic project must be approved in advance by the
supervising faculty member and the dean.
- Advanced Clinic is graded pass/fail.
