Brief Statement Explaining Why You Want to Take This Clinic:

Proposed Weekly Schedule.

To receive course credit, you must spend a minimum of 12 hours per week doing clinic work. These 12 hours include the weekly clinic meeting (Monday 2:30 - 4:30). You must also spend at least 6 hours per week at the clinic office in regularly scheduled office hours that you share with your partner. Each block of office hours should last at least 3 hours and you must have office hours scheduled for at least two, non-consecutive days. Preferred days for office hours are Monday and Wednesday.

Please indicate your proposed weekly schedule, listing preferred office hours, names of all other courses you plan to take, and any other time commitments, such as work. Given the likely need to participate in court hearings and other unscheduled activities, preference may be given to applicants who indicate maximum flexibility in their schedule.
