Advanced Advocacy Clinic

A limited number of students who have already completed a semester in the clinical program may continue with their studies in an advanced setting.  Admission and credit amount are determined prior to registration at the discretion of the faculty, in consultation with the Academic Dean. Credits will be based upon the student's expected time commitment, with the ratio of 1 credit to approximately 4-5 hours work per week in the clinic. Course credit for the Advanced Advocacy Clinic can range from 2-4 credits. Students must receive written permission from the Director of the Clinical Program to register for this course.

Note: If you are enrolled in a clinic and your case carries over to the next semester, and you wish to continue work on your case, you will not be able to remain working with your case as an Advanced Advocacy Clinic student if you are enrolled in an Externship for that semester.
