Caseworkers are upper-year law students who have been admitted to the startup law clinical course offered in the fall semester. Over the course of the semester, caseworkers may be involved in interviewing startup founders, preparing legal memoranda, and making presentations on legal issues. They also attend weekly seminars on selected topics related to startup law as well as legal skills, ethics, and professionalism.

The Clinic offers student caseworkers the opportunity to:

• acquire substantive knowledge in various aspects of startup law;
• gain an understanding of their professional responsibilities as students and eventually as lawyers; and
• improve their presentation skills by carrying out a group public education session on a chosen topic related to the Clinic’s work.

Students interested in applying to join the Clinic in future years are encouraged to take Law for Start-Ups, a seminar course offered in the Winter semester, as well as Droit des sociétés/Business Organizations.
