Three UW Law Clinic Victories!
Legislative Clinic (CAYLAC) Juvenile Records Sealing Bill: Students have accomplished the passage of a far-reaching law that will impact tens of thousands of people who have been unable to seal their juvenile records because of the inability to pay court costs and other assessed legal costs. Congratulations are due to Erin McCann and her intrepid team!
IPNW Legislative Clinic Evidence Preservation Bill. This year’s students saw through to passage a law to prevent the destruction of biological evidence. Prior to the law’s passage, no statewide law governed the preservation of biological evidence. IPNW has had to close many cases because testable evidence had been destroyed, so this issue was a high priority. A shout-out to Lara Zarowsky and her team.
Tribal Court Public Defense Clinic Jury Trial: Students Kiry Nelson and Claire Sullivan, completed a 2 day jury trial in the Tulalip Tribal Court today. After fairly brief deliberation, the jury returned a verdict of not guilty to the charge of Assault in the second degree. The defense, prepared for many weeks, was self defense. As you can imagine, the students were delighted to represent their client to this outcome. Congratulations to Brenda Williams, Molly Cohan and the clinic students.
