These cases provide students the opportunity to interview clients, perform fact investigation, brief writing and advocacy before the New Hampshire’s Department of Employment Security Appeal Tribunal and Appellate Board. The Criminal Practice Clinic allows students to represent clients charged with misdemeanors and felonies in the District and Superior courts. While participating in the clinic, students are responsible for interviewing their client; conducting an investigation; filing motions; negotiating with the prosecutor; and trying the case before a judge or jury. Students work under the direct supervision of a full-time clinical professor who is an experienced criminal defense lawyer. Cases include DWI and other serious driving offenses, domestic assaults, thefts, possession of drugs, resisting arrest, criminal trespass, and criminal threatening offenses. At the start of the semester, students enrolled in the Mediation Clinic participate in an intensive seminar on basic mediation techniques. After completing this training each student is required to conduct at least six mediations in either Concord or Manchester District Courts. The cases the students mediate involve civil disputes in controversies within the District Court’s $25,000 jurisdiction and small claims.

The ultimate goal for clients is to help make sure each child has a loving, safe, and permanent home, and is receiving the needed services, treatments, and financial supports to become a productive and engaged member of society.
