Criminal Practice
The Criminal Practice Clinic allows students to represent clients charged with misdemeanors and felonies in the District and Superior courts. While participating in the clinic, students are responsible for interviewing their client; conducting an investigation; filing motions; negotiating with the prosecutor; and trying the case before a judge or jury. Students work under the direct supervision of a full-time clinical professor who is an experienced criminal defense lawyer. Cases include DWI and other serious driving offenses, domestic assaults, thefts, possession of drugs, resisting arrest, criminal trespass, and criminal threatening offenses.
