Student attorneys in the Federal Clinic handle no-asset bankruptcies, appearing pro hac vice. Representation begins with an eligibility assessment and includes counseling the client on the decision to pursue bankruptcy. If the client elects to file bankruptcy, the student attorney prepares and files all pleadings and schedules, attends the first meeting of creditors, and responds to any objections or motions by the trustee of creditors. Student attorneys also represent individuals before various federal agencies.

This clinic is offered in the fall and spring semesters.

Prerequisites:
        Students must have taken basic evidence, civil procedure, professional responsibility, and criminal procedure and completed at least 48 credit hours at an accredited law school, and have taken Trial Advocacy.
