Legal Clinic - Supreme Court
The Supreme Court Clinic provides pro bono legal representation before the United States Supreme Court. The year-long course will provide George Mason law students with the opportunity to work closely with supervising attorneys from Consovoy McCarthy PLLC to identify cases of interest, research legal issues, and draft Supreme Court briefs on behalf of parties and amici at both the certiorari and merits stages. In addition to working with supervising attorneys on Supreme Court cases, students accepted into the course will receive classroom instruction, analyze federal and state appellate decisions for possible litigation opportunities, and attend at least one Supreme Court argument per Term.
This is a year-long program worth two (2) credits per semester. Students must enroll in both courses each semester. For consideration, submit a short statement of interest, resume, transcript, and writing sample, compiled as a single PDF, to Tiffany Bates (tiffany@consovoymccarthy.com). Space is limited, and students must have completed Constitutional Law I: Structure of Government in order to be eligible for the clinic.
