Course Description
In addition to 14 hours of classroom work, students in the class will be certified under Rule 38(d) to represent persons with criminal convictions and, under the supervision of attorneys, assist them in filing petitions to restore their civil rights. The courtroom work is not primarily aimed at developing litigation skills. Instead, it is to give students the opportunity to meet persons with criminal convictions, learn about their situations, and communicate in a formal setting about the reasons they want their civil rights restored and how that would advance their reentry into society.
