APPELLATE LITIGATIoN CLINIC Students in the Appellate Litigation Program handle both civil and criminal appellate cases involving issues such as immigration, habeas corpus, and a variety of civil rights issues. The Program exposes students to litigation in several different courts including federal circuits, the Board of Immigration Appeals, and the D.C. local courts. The clinic also has had four cases reach the United States Supreme Court on grants of writs of certiorari. Over twenty students working on those cases had the opportunity to participate in litigation before the highest court in the United States before they even graduated from law school. Regardless of the case, the clinic strives to provide the best representation possible, comparable to that provided by the best appellate firms in the country. Students learn not only how to litigate on appeal but how to litigate well, adopting professional and ethical standards that will guide them throughout their legal careers. Students enrolled in the program receive intense training in the art of oral and written advocacy as it is practiced in some of the highest courts in the nation, at a level appropriate to those courts and the issues presented. This training includes appellate practice, procedure, research, issue formation, and writing. Each clinic student produces two major briefs and several students will have the opportunity to argue their cases in the appellate courts. 8 www.law.georgetown.edu/clinics/al/
CENTER foR APPLIEd LEGAL STudIES (“CALS”) CliniCs Students in the Center for Applied Legal Studies (CALS) provide high-quality pro bono representation for non-U.S.-citizen refugees seeking political asylum because of persecution, torture, and other human rights violations in the country from which they have fled. CALS students are responsible for representing their clients, with intensive faculty supervision. Working in pairs, CALS students represent one or more refugees whose asylum applications already have been denied by the government at the administrative level. Students interview clients, become experts on the human rights record of the client’s country of origin, develop documentary and testimonial evidence, locate and prepare witnesses, write a brief, affidavits and other legal documents, and present testimony and legal arguments at a hearing before an Immigration Judge. www.law.georgetown.edu/clinics/cals/ 9 9
