WVU Law established its United States Supreme Court Law Clinic in fall 2011. It is one of just a handful of SCOTUS law clinics in the nation.
Students in the Supreme Court Clinic at WVU Law research and draft briefs for clients pro bono, working primarily on criminal, immigration, prisoner, and civil liberties appeals. It provides invaluable career preparation for WVU Law students by giving them practical experience on some of the most significant legal cases facing the nation.
The Supreme Court Clinic is co-directed by Lawrence D. Rosenberg, a partner in the firm Jones Day in Washington, D.C., and Mary Claire Davis, a teaching associate professor at the College of Law.
STUDENTS TACKLE SENTENCING CASE
Supreme Court law clinic students recently worked on a case that involves the constitutionality of sentencing defendants under the age of 18 who are convicted of non-homicide felonies to consecutive long-term imprisonment without parole.
