Indiana Law students can build their own plan of study by taking classes from a number of different areas, or they can choose an area of focus.
Description The Conservation Law Clinic is an opportunity for second and third year law students to serve as interns in the Conservation Law Center, a public interest law firm that represents clients who need legal assistance with natural resource conservation matters. The Clinic is a three credit hour course. Conservation Law Clinic interns, working closely with Clinic Attorneys, participate directly in the representation of Conservation Law Center clients. In one of the two semesters, clinical work is supplemented with a seminar that will focus on the legal background of a conservation issue of current issue; the topic for the fall semester of 2012 was the Florida panther and the Endangered Species Act. The seminar plan includes ample opportunities to extract general principles from the specific case study. Clinic interns generally enjoy representing the non-profit conservation organizations that are the Clinic#s clients and value the experience of working in a law firm setting. Clinic matters have included extensive work on the law of conservation easements; analysis of conservation related laws; development of and comment on new administrative rules, legislation and strategies; and litigation at trial and appellate levels. Permission of the Clinic Director is required for enrollment. Preference will be given to students who have completed half of the required course work toward a degree or joint degree, and to students interested in enrolling in the Clinic for two consecutive semesters. To apply, please send a statement of interest and a copy of your resume to W. William Weeks (wwweeks@indiana.edu) prior to registration.
Note This course satisfies the professional skills requirement.
