Students in the Criminal Prosecution Clinic appear on behalf of the state of Arkansas in Fayetteville District Court, by special arrangement with the Fayetteville City Prosecutor's Office. Student attorneys are assigned 15 to 20 misdemeanor cases on each of three or four court days during the semester. They handle all phases of cases, including pretrial motions and negotiations, trial, and sentencing. This clinic is typically offered in the Fall semester and maybe offered during a summer session.
Prerequisites:
Students must have taken basic evidence, civil procedure, criminal procedure, professional responsibility, and trial advocacy and completed at least 48 credit hours at an accredited law school and otherwise be eligible for licensing under Rule XV, Rules Governing Admission to the Bar, and have taken Trial Advocacy.
