The Domestic Violence Clinic is a one semester, four credit hour course in which students provide legal assistance to clients who experience interpersonal violence.  Students work under the supervision of clinical faculty and perform all of the traditional functions of a civil attorney, including interviewing and counseling clients, conducting legal research, developing case theories, engaging in discovery and motion practice, negotiating with opposing counsel, drafting pleadings and other legal documents, presenting oral arguments in court, and taking appropriate cases to trial and appeal, if warranted.   Readings, classroom lectures, simulations and videos complement live civil practice.  Students are required to spend 10 hours per week in the clinic office, in addition to two classroom sessions per week.
