This yearlong clinic will introduce students to all aspects of current United States Supreme Court practice through live cases. Working on teams, students will handle actual cases from the seeking of Supreme Court review to briefing on the merits. Classes will meet every other week for part of the year to discuss contemporary Supreme Court practice and procedure and at other times to discuss drafts of briefs and other papers students have prepared for submission to the Court. Students will be expected to identify candidates for Supreme Court review; draft petitions for certiori, amicus merits briefs, and party merits briefs; and attend mootings and Supreme Court arguments.
