Fall 2008 In-House Clinic Courses
Students who have completed at least thirty (30) hours of law school course work and are in good academic standing (see "Nevada Supreme Court Student Practice Rule" under Clinical Program Information at the bottom of this page) can be certified for limited practice, which includes conducting investigations, interviewing witnesses, interviewing and counseling clients and representing clients before legislative and administrative bodies. Students with at least forty-five (45) hours of law school course work and are in good academic standing gain experience as lawyers practicing law under the Nevada Supreme Court Rule governing practice by law students. Working under the direct supervision of faculty who are licensed lawyers, students perform the full range of functions necessary for proper client representation, including appearing in the Nevada Courts.
The clinic is unique in that it is multidisciplinary. With the exceptions of the Criminal Appellate Clinic, students will be working with social work and education students under the supervision of the clinic social worker Professor Ina Dorman and Special Education Professor Rebecca Nathanson to provide all of their client’s legal needs. Graduates rate in-house clinics among their most valuable experiences in law school.
