In the appellate litigation clinic, students will represent a client in an appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Students will (in almost all cases) meet the client and investigate the issues on appeal, review the trial record, develop and research a theory and write an Opening Brief, Reply Brief, and, then ultimately, argue the case before the Ninth Circuit. The substantive nature of the case is often immigration (political asylum cases, cancellation of removal, ineffective assistance of counsel), although it can be prisoner ? 1983 civil rights cases on behalf of inmates, or habeas cases. There is no substantive legal knowledge required of any of these areas. Prior completion or current enrollment in LAW 514 Evidence is recommended. This is a year-long course. Fulfills the clinic degree requirement.
