| General Description: | The Domestic Relations Legal Clinic is offered at the Fairfax County Circuit Court and gives students a unique opportunity to assist pro se litigants in obtaining uncontested divorces. Student lawyers are assigned a mentor who is a well-known domestic relations lawyer and work in the mentor's office 12 hours per week on all manner of domestic relations issues and cases. The student lawyers are given their own case load of clients who seek help from the clinic. The students meet with clients, draft pleadings, review documentation and appear in court for ore tenus hearings before a Fairfax County Circuit Court judge. Some students may even have the opportunity to argue motions for support or minor property determinations. To be eligible to enroll in the clinic, students must have completed Domestic Relations and have a Third-Year Practice Certificate. This clinic is limited to the first 10 students who apply. |
