The Juvenile Justice Clinic students gain litigation experience representing
clients under the age of eighteen who have been charged with a juvenile offense
or crime. Students interact with parents, social service agencies and school
officials to gather information before representing the clients in court at
detention hearings, trials, pleas and depositions. The classroom portion of the
Clinic provides students with grounding in basic trial skills and rules of the
court before progressing to more formal training, such as mock trials and motions
to suppress evidence.
