Internal Clinical Programs – Spring 2019 Registration Update

We regret to inform you that three of our four in-house clinics (the Elderly Law Project, the Family Law Litigation Clinic, and the Sheller Center Social Justice Lawyering Clinic) are fully enrolled for the spring.  There is still space to register for the Community Lawyering Clinic, and you can do so through the normal course registration process; please contact Professor Rand at spencer.rand@temple.edu with questions about that clinic.  If you are interested in the Family Law Litigation Clinic, Prof. Katz is maintaining a waitlist; you can email her directly at katzs@temple.edu.

For those of you who were hoping to register for one of the fully enrolled clinics for spring 2019, we wanted to apologize and explain.  In the spring of 2018, we piloted a new approach to in-house clinic registration, where students completed an application to be selected to enroll in clinics for Fall 2018 and for priority enrollment for Spring 2019 (rather than limiting clinical registration to once a year).  We were surprised to find that students filled the spring 2019 clinics during the spring 2018 application process. We have learned from this pilot; in the 2019-20 academic year, we will allow students to apply for clinics the following semester only, which will ensure that students will be able to apply to all of the in-house clinics each semester.  Thank you for your patience as we figure out the most effective and student-friendly approach to clinical registration.  Please contact Associate Dean Jaya Ramji-Nogales with any questions (jayarn@temple.edu).

Pennsylvania Bar Association – Student Membership

The Pennsylvania Bar Association is a wonderful organization and student membership is free of charge.  The PBA provides students the opportunity to gain valuable professional experiences through involvement in our sections and committees, engagement with practicing lawyers and members of the judiciary, and participating in our service projects such as Wills for Heroes, the High School Mock Trial Competition and our soon-to-be launched Constitution initiative.  Our new E-Mentorship Program between the Young Lawyers Division and our law student members will provide another avenue for students to gain additional support and professional growth through contact with practicing, successful attorneys who are not too far out of law school themselves.  The PBA law student application is available online and you can access the application here:  http://www.pabar.org/site/Non-member/Student-Application
