LAW 2519 - Housing Practicum
Students in the Housing Practicum will provide legal assistance to either clients from Northwell Health Clinics through the Hofstra/Northwell l Legal/ Medical Partnership or to unrepresented housing litigants in the District Court of Hempstead. Students will be supervised by Judge Fisher with the assistance of an Adjunct Professor at all times. Students will primarily provide legal advice and brief services in eviction cases and instances where tenants need repairs. It is envisioned that there will be very limited litigation in District Court. In the event of litigation, students will assist in preparation and only observe in Court. The Professor will actually handle the case in court. Additional litigation experience will be obtained through simulations in class and through case preparation. This course will be offered every semester.
Prerequisites & Notes
Either Landlord and Tenant Law in a Challenged Society and a special mini course on Health and Ethics or Housing and Health Law . Permission will be required for registration. (Please note that the educative components of the mini course will be included in Housing and Health Law. Thus, the mini course would be redundant for students who take Housing and Health Law as a prerequisite for the Practicum.)
