In this course students work on real cases, either at faculty-supervised field placements or under the direct supervision of Nancy Lemon, DVP Director, while enrolled in a classroom component taught by Ms. Lemon.
Domestic Violence Law Practicum
Students work in one of several civil or criminal domestic violence legal agencies in the Bay Area, or with the instructor on state legislation. They interview clients; draft restraining orders, memoranda, op-ed pieces and motions; represent clients at hearings; research policy issues; and attend meetings with government officials, judges and legislators. Students may also work on post-conviction issues faced by battered women in state prisons and employment issues affecting victims of domestic violence. More information about the Spring 2008 practicum can be found here and here.
