The Impact Defense Initiative is an innovative clinical course that will immerse students in the design and execution of a high-impact strategic litigation campaign undertaken on behalf of indigent criminal defendants in a state-level criminal court system. Over the course of the semester, students will work together in a collaborative and team-driven “law office,” alongside and under the supervision of the course instructor and in partnership with the Public Defender Service for the District of Columbia, one of the nation’s leading public-defense agencies. Join us to learn about this new clinic and how to apply.
