The Criminal Defense Clinic is located in Room 117 of the
Law School. Students in the Criminal Defense Clinic represent
defendants in serious misdemeanor cases (cases that require
appointment of counsel) and occasionally represent clients
in uncomplicated felonies. Students participate in all phases
of a criminal defense from the initial meeting with their
client through acquittal or sentencing and, if necessary,
appeal. Criminal Defense Clinic students have argued before
the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and have prepared briefs
to the United States Supreme Court, the Montana Supreme Court,
and the Ninth Circuit. The Criminal Defense Clinic also represents
prisoners in habeas proceedings in the United States District
Court and in post-conviction proceedings in the state courts,
and may engage in other litigation related to the rights
of defendants and prisoners.
