W74 LAW 731Prosecution ClinicVar. Units (max = 8.0)
Description:Open to 3L and second-semester 2L J.D. students eligible for Missouri Supreme Court Rule 13 student practice certification. Prosecution Law Clinic students work part-time in the St. Louis County Prosecutor's Office or in the St. Louis City Circuit Attorney's Office (in the Carnahan Courthouse in downtown St. Louis). Students have the opportunity to handle, or assist experienced prosecutors in handling, the prosecution of state-level crimes in the County or City of St. Louis while also gaining exposure to the legal and ethical problems that prosecutors face in practice. The clinic operates out of the St. Louis County Prosecutors Office (co-directed by Tom Smith who leads the felony team and Brooke Hurst working with the sexual assault/child abuse team) or The City of St. Louis Circuit Attorney's Office (co-directed by Rob Huq the General Felonies Trial Unit Leader and Tanja Engelhardt the Violent Crimes Unit Leader). Students in this clinic can expect to engage in: problem solving; legal analysis and reasoning; legal research; factual investigation; witness interviewing and preparation; oral and written communication; litigation; organization and management of legal work; and recognizing and resolving ethical dilemmas and the prosecutor's special responsibilities. In addition to case work, students must attend a weekly seminar. Students are required to devote 3.5 hours per week, on average, for every credit hour earned. Students who have completed courses in evidence, pretrial, trial, professional responsibility, and criminal procedure may be given preference. Students are financially responsible for their own transportation and parking, as needed. This externship is expected to be in person. Students may request a preference as to which office they are assigned, but there is no guarantee that the student will be assigned to their preferred office. [Note: Students are prohibited from taking more than one clinic/externship/supervised practicum in the same semester. Students who are not in good standing (for either academic or disciplinary reasons) are not eligible to participate in a clinic/externship. The clinics/externships have a different drop deadline than other Law School courses. A student will not be allowed to drop any law clinic or externship without good cause and the instructor's permission after May 10, 2024. For 6 credits, students must work a minimum of 255 hours over the course of the semester. The weekly seminar will take place on Thursday from 4:00 pm - 5:52 pm in the City and Tuesday from 10:00 am - 11:52 am in the county. The course is graded on a modified pass/fail basis: HP (3.94), P, LP (2.98) and F 2.50). 6 units (8 with permission of instructor). [BCCCR Requirement: this course contains 5 or more hours of BCCCR instruction.]

Home/Ident

A course may be either a “Home” course or an “Ident” course.

A “Home” course is a course that is created, maintained and “owned” by one academic department (aka the “Home” department). The “Home” department is primarily responsible for the decision making and logistical support for the course and instructor.

An “Ident” course is the exact same course as the “Home” (i.e. same instructor, same class time, etc), but is simply being offered to students through another department for purposes of registering under a different department and course number.

Students should, whenever possible, register for their courses under the department number toward which they intend to count the course. For example, an AFAS major should register for the course "Africa: Peoples and Cultures" under its Ident number, L90 306B, whereas an Anthropology major should register for the same course under its Home number, L48 306B.
