Children's Permanency Clinic I (E)

Catalog description

The Children’s Permanency Clinic I allows students who are Missouri Rule 13 certified to work with children and families in the St. Louis area in a variety of legal matters. Students are supervised in their work by the clinic director but assume the primary responsibility for their cases and clients. Through this work the students learn from practice, gain practical lawyering skills and subject matter knowledge. This course is open to students who are eligible for a Missouri student practice license, have completed Legal Profession (or who will concurrently enroll in Legal Profession with the permission of the faculty member teaching the course). Students may also be required to complete additional prerequisite courses or satisfy other requirements. Students may enroll in this course for 5 or 6 credits. For each credit hour, a student must complete 45 hours of combined time with clinic work and classroom work.
