The Appellate Clinic provides students with hands-on experience in federal appellate practice. Students will brief and argue cases before the United States Courts of Appeals. The clinic primarily represents clients in pro bono, court-appointed cases concerning civil rights or criminal appeals, but may also handle other types of federal appeals. This practical experience includes regular client interaction, intensive case record analysis, substantial legal research, and the drafting and revision of appellate briefs. Students may also have the opportunity to draft an amicus brief.
This Bachelor of Science program, a collaboration between the McKelvey School of Engineering and the College of Arts & Sciences, allows students to efficiently combine their interests in Computer Science and Economics without pursuing them as separate majors. The program acknowledges the increasing pervasiveness of electronically mediated platforms in all aspects of life, from social media and online markets to banking and education. Designing and implementing these platforms is an engineering challenge, while understanding the social interactions they facilitate falls within the realm of economics. This major equips students to understand and contribute to this interdisciplinary field.
