Starting this fall, Drexel Law will offer an in-house Appellate Litigation Clinic. The Drexel Appellate Litigation Clinic, taught by Professor Richard Frankel, will offer students the unique opportunity to practice law before appellate courts. Similar to our other clinics, students in this clinic will provide valuable legal services to needy individuals who otherwise would not be able obtain legal representation. Clinic cases likely will cover a wide variety of subject-matters, including constitutional law, criminal law, immigration law, and the rights of the indigent and the incarcerated.

Students will gain extensive hands-on experience in appellate advocacy, practice, and strategy. The clinic aims to gives students true ownership of their cases. Students will be actively involved in all aspects of their cases, including authoring briefs, interviewing and consulting with clients, negotiating with opposing counsel, developing case strategies, researching complex legal questions, and preparing for oral argument. All students will work under the close supervision of Professor Frankel.

Students enrolled in the Appellate Litigation Clinic also take a Justice Lawyering Seminar in the fall quarter that examines the ways in which the legal system can and should promote equality and fairness for individuals and groups within the broader community.
