What is the expected time commitment for a law clinic?<\/h5>\n\t\t\t<p>Expect 100-120 hours per clinic over approximately 12 weeks.

Is there a fixed schedule or end date for the law clinic?<\/h5>\n\t\t\t<p>Clinics follow an estimated timeline (e.g., completion by mid-November for Semester One), but exact start and end dates for each tranche may vary due to the demands of the matter at hand.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>3. Can I work part-time or take on an internship while allocated to a law clinic?<\/h5>\n\t\t\t<p>Yes, as long as these commitments do not interfere with clinic commitments.

Who supervises the law clinics?<\/h5>\n\t\t\t<p>Clinical instructors, often practising lawyers from our partner organisations or faculty supervisors, maintaining a low student-to-supervisor ratio.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>6. How are the law clinics structured?<\/h5>\n\t\t\t<p>Clinics follow a curriculum with scheduled sessions, client assignments, case reviews, and ongoing supervision by clinic instructors.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Clinical Legal Education Programme Overview Application and Eligibility Structure and Supervision Additional Information Course Structure &#038; Supervision 1.
