Clinics
Students who have not participated in the early sign-up process will have the opportunity to request Clinics for both the Fall and Spring semesters on a space-permitting basis during the registration and drop/add periods. Students should use the Clinic Request form found on the Registrar's website under "Forms". Students will not register for Clinics on NOVASIS.
*During the first phase of registration, preference for any available clinic spots will be given to rising 3Ls who have not previously taken a clinic. Please see next bullet for the exception to this policy,
*Two (2) slots each in the spring semester Civil Justice, Farmworker, and Tax Clinics are reserved for rising 2L students. The Tax Clinic preference will only be given to rising 2L's who will have completed Introduction to Taxation by the end of the fall semester. The Civil Justice Clinic preference will only be given to rising 2L's who have completed Evidence by the end of the fall semester.
Notification
Students will receive notification of their enrollment status in a clinic from the Clinic Office.
Dropping a Clinic
Students enrolled during the early signup for Clinics cannot drop a Clinic after March 28, 2013.
Student Commitment
Your commitment to the clinic is an indication of the professional responsibility you will be entrusted with in your live client matters. Given the demands associated with certifying students for practice in respective clinics and the importance of advance notice needed to schedule appropriate client matters, drops will not be permitted later than the dates indicated above. Any request for a drop must receive the consent of the faculty supervisor of the particular clinic in which the student is enrolled. Once the deadline to drop a clinic has passed, only under the most extraordinary of circumstances, in the event of an unforeseen emergency, will a student be allowed to drop. If you have such an unforeseen emergency, please contact Pat Brown, Clinic Administrator, at brown@law.villanova.edu.
