The Criminal Justice Institute (CJI) offers a unique union of classroom instruction and hands-on experience for students who represent indigent criminal defendants and juveniles. CJI also performs research in a variety of criminal justice areas and provides valuable educational experiences. Students are assigned cases in local district and juvenile courts, handling everything from the arraignment to investigation to motions to trial. Under the supervision of experienced clinical instructors, students handle an average of six to eight misdemeanor and felony cases during the semester. Students also represent juvenile clients in administrative and school hearings.
