About Family Law Clinical Practicum

The Practicum is a full-year course, with a focus on pedagogical learning in the fall semester and practical experience in the spring semester.

The program grounds itself in development of practical skills necessary to move family law cases from initial client interview to judgment.

Student attorneys are expected to conduct client and witness interviews, make court appearances, manage the client’s file, prepare written documents (used both internally and filed with the court), organize discovery, understand, and apply the rules of civil procedure as well as explain the legal process to and counsel the client.

The types of cases the Practicum will accept are divorce, custody, juvenile guardianships, domestic violence protection orders, and disorderly conduct restraining orders.

I can't say enough good things about the Family Law Practicum and the work they do. During some of the most stressful times of my life, they were able to put my mind at ease and I knew, without a doubt, that I was in great hands. They went above and beyond to ensure my children's safety and ultimately produce the results my family needed.Former Practicum Client
