Jllfen ', P. c. B v- USD students get assignment injuve)lile law Th~~'j(y of San Dji;go Law School is operating a new clinic, with students defending juveniles in crim- inal cases. "We've tried to get into Juvenile Court for years, and this year the court has asked us to come in," said Professor Rick Barron, who directs the clinic with Professor Laura Berend. Barron said they will advise the students throughout the legal pro- cesses and appear in court with them and their clients. Eight students are participating in the project. They expect to handle up to three dozen cases in the current semester. Supervising Judge Napoleon Jones of Juvenile Court, who approved the use of law students to defend juven- iles, said it will result in "quality rep- resentation for the juveniles." "The law school students are pre- pared well and will do a good job for their clients," he said. Jones, a USD law graduate took part in the law school's adult 'clinic when it was founded in 1971. Barron said students in the pro- gram have "unlimited time and re- sources" to devote to their clients. "It will expose them to a field of law sorely lacking in interested at- torneys,'' he said. 1 ,. , 888
