LAW 391P - Poverty Law and Litigation Practicum.

This course will use selected problems of the poor-public benefits, health rights, consumer protection, access to the courts, housing-to examine law in light of duty to a specific client, interest in a definable constituency, forum choices, procedural options, and substantive law. The purpose is to draw together skills and theory already learned into an operating context that requires strategic and tactical decisions. Students will be responsible for strategy, pleadings, briefs, and class review of each problem.Five hours.Woodward
