further develop their research and writing skills through the preparation of memoranda and briefs, and
may have the chance to hone their advocacy skills through oral argument, examination of witnesses and
presentation of evidence at hearings. Through the Street Law Clinic, students teach law-related critical life
skills to youth in the Los Angeles dependency, delinquency and special education systems, honing their
presentation skills and translating the law in a simpler, more practical manner.
