Students provide civil representation to indigent persons incarcerated in Minnesota. Students represent clients from interview through any trial. Cases include domestic relations, imprisonment-related matters (institutional grievances, parole, and detainers), and the full range of other civil problems including debtor-creditor, wills, contracts, torts, and civil rights issues. Students generally take the Clinic for two semesters; as a result, students in their final semester of law school cannot register for the LAMP Clinic for the first time without the express permission of the instructor. This clinic may be taken for 3 or 4 credits. Students may not register for more than one clinic during the same semester without the consent of both instructors. Students may not drop a clinic course online later than one week prior to the start of the semester. Students may drop through the add/drop deadline by using the drop form found on the registrar's website. The classroom component of this course meets in-person.
