Students receive orientation at the clinic and are trained in admission and referral procedures at the beginning of the fall semester. In the following lessons, substantive legal topics and skills development are combined. The lessons are highly interactive and full participation is expected. Guest speakers from the legal profession offer expertise in various areas of law. Community leaders will share important knowledge about the citizens of Phillips Ward and the legal needs of cancer patients. Special courses will be devoted to „case counseling“ to solve clients` problems and learn from the views and experiences of others. Students at this clinic will provide legal services to Phillips Neighborhood Clinic, Community University Health Care Clinic and Hope Lodge to identify and resolve legal issues that impact patient care and well-being. Students develop skills that can be used in a number of practice settings, including interviews and counselling, case management, problem solving, persuasive factual analysis, legal design, negotiation, effective oral communication, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Students are also introduced to the legislative or rule-making process, which can address patient health at the system level. In the second semester, students may choose to focus on client work or legislative efforts. The information on the Website is provided for informational purposes only.
