Juvenile Justice Clinic: Perspectives
-
During the Spring of 1996, I handled cases for several kids in the Juvenile Justice Clinic.
-
I learned about different types of law and then put that knowledge into action by meeting with actual clients and representing those clients in court.
-
The Juvenile Justice Clinic was a great experience for me! It taught me the practical skills of interacting with clients, coming up with legal arguments, and presenting those legal arguments in court.
-
The Juvenile Justice Clinic taught me the crucial importance of patience and persistence as an advocate.
-
The study of law and the practice of law are very different, and I think that the Juvenile Justice Clinic was one of my most valuable experiences in law school specifically because it facilitates the transition from the study to the practice of law.
