LS 301 - The Legal Advocacy Clinic


Prerequisites: CJS 105  or LS 101  and permission of instructor
The Legal Advocacy Clinic is a unique opportunity for students interested in working with victims of domestic violence in the court system. The Clinic experience will begin in the classroom where students will learn the history of domestic violence and the unique challenges involved with addressing domestic violence cases. Once students are educated and trained, students will work in the Newport Courthouse to assist and advocate on behalf of clients that wish to apply for orders of protection. Students will work weekly in the courthouse, providing advocacy services, under the direction of the instructor.
