LAW 532 - Community Legal Practice Center.

The Community Legal Practice Center (“CLPC”) represents lower income Rockbridge area residents in a general law practice setting, but with a particular focus on the elderly, victims of domestic violence, and those with pressing family law concerns. The CLPC attempts to assist its clients with the entire range of legal concerns they present, thus exposing students to a wide variety of substantive legal issues in both litigation and drafting settings. Students are responsible for all aspects of their clients’ matters, from the initial intake interview until the clients’ matters are concluded. Permission of the instructor is required; limited enrollment. A student enrolled in the course may not simultaneously participate in another clinical program. This is a two semester course. Ten hours (five per semester). Belmont
