Prosecution and Defense Clinic
Clinical Teachers
Project Description
One of the newest additions to the clinical programs, the Prosecution and Defense Clinic, which started in January 2012, is led by a former Assistant United States Attorney and a former Federal Defender. The clinic provides students with an opportunity to learn about the criminal justice system through the combination of a 2-quarter seminar and a clinical placement in either a prosecutor's office or public defender's office. Students experience a unique combination of substantive criminal law and procedure, ethics, trial practice (through participation in courtroom exercises built around a single federal criminal case), and hands-on experience through a clinical placement.
