Family Justice Clinic

Through a partnership with Faces of Hope Foundation, 家庭司法诊所为法律系学生提供发展法律技能的机会,同时为人际暴力的幸存者提供免费的法律援助.

About the Clinic

大学三年级的学生可以在课堂上学习,并帮助家庭暴力和性暴力幸存者的充分代表. From the initial application, 面谈和起草诉状,与对方律师谈判和审判, 学生处理客户民事案件的各个方面.

通过与希望之脸基金会合作, 学生也有机会与其他专业人士接触,为那些受到人际暴力影响的人辩护, 包括博伊西警察局的一个特别受害者小组, 与卫生和福利部一起调查虐待儿童问题, medical professionals with St. Luke's and St. 阿方索斯,受害者辩护律师,辅导员和其他许多人. 学生不仅可以获得真实的法律经验,还可以在我们的社区中帮助处于危机中的家庭. 

In my time at the Family Justice Clinic, I have not only developed practical skills, 但我也变成了一个更善解人意的人. Law school prepared you to navigate the law; it does not prepare you to look into your client's eyes and connect with them on a human-to-human level. 这是倡导的重要组成部分,也是我在家庭司法诊所学到的. 我很感激能成为伊利诺伊大学和脸谱网合作的一部分. Nina Marcello, 3L Student Spring 2023

Learning Goals

家庭司法诊所(FJC)成立的目的是为3L学生提供真实的法律经验,同时满足社区的重要需求,为陷入人际暴力的低收入家庭提供无偿法律代理. FJC是一家全职诊所,有8名3L学生在爱达荷州最高法院颁发的有限执照下运作,由一名有执照的律师临床主任监督.

  • 与客户进行书面和口头沟通和宣传, opposing counsel, parties, and the court.
  • 在实体法和法庭程序方面,使他们能够在民事保护听证会和包括离婚和儿童监护在内的家庭法诉讼中称职地代表客户.
  • 分析和应用专业责任作为法律专业的许可成员.
  • collaborating with law enforcement, counselors, 为预防和服务家庭暴力受害者而工作的医疗专业人员和其他倡导者.
