The Advanced Family Justice Litigation Practicum allows students who have taken the Family Justice Litigation Clinic the opportunity to develop advanced and/or new lawyering skills while working under faculty supervision. Representative activities include drafting pleadings, motions, and appeals with supporting memoranda of law, negotiations with opposing parties, court appearances, and collaborating with community partners on local law reform on issues of third party custody and pre-petition advocacy. Students, with permission of the Clinic Director, can earn 2 or 3 credits requiring 85 or 127.5 hours (respectively) of work during the semester.
