Legal PracticeWhile the Criminal Justice Institute (CJI) serves primarily as a curriculum based clinical program for Harvard Law School students seeking to gain hands-on training in criminal defense lawyering, it is very much a legal practice. The legal team, led by Professor Charles J. Ogletree, Jr., is comprised of a talented and accomplished group of criminal defense attorneys who serve as clinical instructors. This group represents Bar admission in the states of Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, and in the United States Supreme Court. In addition to the licensed attorneys, students enrolled in Introduction to Trial Advocacy (ITA): Criminal Justice provide legal representation as student attorneys under Supreme Judicial Court Rule 3:03. Student attorneys are supervised by the CJI legal team. CJI, a public defender of sorts, represents indigent clients as appointed by the Boston Municipal Court, Roxbury Division (adult) and Dorchester Division (juvenile). Our legal practice handles criminal charges ranging from misdemeanors to most felonies, and legal representation is provided from arrest to disposition. We also handle some collateral matters, including school disciplinary proceedings. In addition, members of the legal team serve on a monthly basis to provide telephone consultations and referrals in response to the many requests for representation which we receive.
