This two-unit seminar (289) and the co-requisite clinic (295.5Z) integrate hands-on lawyering experiences at the East Bay Community Law Center (EBCLC) with reading, reflection, and classroom discussion on the theory and practice of women of color centered legal services. An application available on the school's clinic homepage (www.law.berkeley.edu/clinics.htm) is required, as is admission to the specific clinic, and concurrent enrollment in the seminar and clinic is mandatory for new students (advanced clinic work may be conducted in subsequent semesters with the permission of the instructors under Law 295.5y). Applications open 4/8 at 3pm, and are due by noon on 4/15.
Students work a minimum of 16 or 20 hours per week (varies per clinic) under the close supervision of attorneys in one of EBCLC’s eight clinics. Please see EBCLC's website for the full list of clinics and descriptions: https://ebclc.org/legal-education/clinical-education/academic-year/.
