Yale Law School Supreme Court Clinic
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Yale Law School Supreme Court Clinic[1] provides legal representation to a range of organizations and individuals in the Supreme Court of the United States. The clinic combines classroom instruction with involvement in litigation projects. Under supervision of the clinic instructors, students draft petitions for writs of certiorari, write merits briefs in granted cases, and represent amici curiae. The clinic is committed to providing the highest quality legal representation on a pro bono basis.
The clinic is directed by Yale Law School professors Dan M. Kahan and Brett Dignam and by Andrew Pincus and Charles Rothfeld, experienced Supreme Court litigators from Mayer Brown in Washington, DC. Mr. Pincus and Mr. Rothfeld, both formerly of the U.S. Solicitor General's office, have represented parties in over 100 cases before the Supreme Court. Combined, they have given more than 35 Supreme Court oral arguments.
During the October 2006 Term, the clinic filed more than 10 briefs in the Supreme Court.[2]
