Juvenile & Special Education Law Clinic

UDC School of Law students and faculty supervisors in the Juvenile and Special Education Law Clinic represent children and parents (or guardians) primarily in special education matters. Over the past sixteen years, the clinic faculty pioneered and developed a nationally-acclaimed approach to addressing the problems of delinquency by supplementing traditional delinquency representation with, where appropriate, advocacy to address the special education needs of the children who are the subject of those delinquency proceedings. For more information please see the clinic’s website.

This site provides resources for learning and practicing lawyering skills such as legal research and writing, client interviewing and client representation in hearings and court proceedings — in keeping with the highest standards of the profession.
