More Information

For most of Chicago-Kent School of Law's in-house clinical programs, JD students are given the option of enrolling for three or four credits (LLM students can register for 3 credits). During the fall and spring semesters, students will put in an average of 11 hours per week for three credits and an average of 14 hours per week for four credits over the course of 13 weeks.

In the summer semester, students will put in an average of 20 hours per week for three credits and an average of about 26 hours per week for four credits over the course of 7 weeks.

Each clinical program provides classroom as well as field work instruction. With permission students may enroll for a second semester in any program.

Special Notes

Criminal Clinic

To get the optimal experience from the Criminal Clinic, it would be best to be available at least two mornings each week to go to court (either in person or remote) with your supervising attorney. In addition, if you have in the past worked or expect to concurrently work in the criminal defense or prosecution area, there may be a conflict, and this experience should be divulged via email to Tracy Kish at tkish@illinoistech.edu. before the applications are due.
