We are in the fourth year of a five year cycle.  
Pro Bono Course Description
Yes, our students participate in VITA (Volunteer Income Tax Assistance) and become specially certified to handle pension/tax issues and offer special tax preparation services at senior citizen centers and senior housing centers. The Elder Law Clinic offers direct legal services by students serving as Certified Legal Interns to senior community in Dauphin County. Our Clinic provides representation on matters such as bankruptcy, consumer protection, applications and appeals arising out of Medicare/Medicaid/Health Insurance, older adult protective services, housing, and basic estate documents including simple wills, advanced health care directives and powers of attorney. Practicing attorneys, often specialists in areas such as bankruptcy or protective services, work part time with the clinic as supervisors for the students, with the course component of the class provided by a tenured professor. The Elder Law Workshop takes a "problem-based" approach to learning, offering simulations for students to examine Social Security, health care, insurance, and similar issues facing older adults and their families and provides an opportunity to confront unique issues in Professional Responsibiltiy for the attorney offering elder law advice.

15   n/a   yes; 2005-2006   open only to second and third year law students; graduate students from other disciplines may enroll   no     The elder law course has no established clinical program. However, the law school's clinical program is associated with a Title III-B LSC grantee and students enrolled in the elder law course may seek a clinical placement there.  
Pro Bono Course Description
This is an option. During the course, students are asked to participate in some activity that exposes them to older people. Very often the students will shadow a volunteer lawyer in an established pro bono program for seniors. This is a two-credit hour lecture-style course that is offered to 2nd and 3rd year law students. From time to time, graduate students from such disciplines as social work may also choose to enroll. While in the past I have used an elder law text book, the last time I taught the course, I choose to collect materials on my own. We address specific elder law issues each class. Students have assigned readings and much of the class time is spent in a discussion format and some specific problem solving. Students are asked to make one oral presentation of approximately 10 minutes on some issue that addresses aging in society (they can talk about a film, a book, an article, a specific event, etc.); to do one drafting assignment (usually a general durable power of attorney); participate in some activity that exposes them to seniors (usually working with a volunteer lawyer in some elder law clinic, shadowing a long-term care ombudsman, helping with a Meals on Wheels program, etc.) for one day and writing a one-page reflection on the activity; and, writing or producing a specific project. In general, the course has been very successful. At this law school, the course also meets another graduation requirement, that of a perspective course. The students come from various backgrounds, but each class has at least one student who plans on an elder law career, several interested in estate planning, and several who are confronting aging issues in their own families.

Pro Bono Course Description
Yes. The Older Americans Law Project (OALP) partially operates under a Title III-B federal grant of the Older Americans Act. This grant is administered by the Tulsa Area Agency on Aging and allows the Clinic to provide free legal service to persons sixty years-of-age or older living in Tulsa, Creek, and Osage counties. During this semester, you will learn invaluable lawyering skills as you handle a caseload, make presentations in the community, and attend both classes and docketing meetings. We will have class on relevant elder law topics each week. Additionally, we will have a weekly docketing meeting to discuss all OALP cases. I am available to meet with you individually on a walk-in basis or by appointment. Teaching areas on the syllabus include: Professional Responsibility and Community Resources, Wills, Durable Powers of Attorney, Advance Directive for Health Care, DNRs, HIPAA, Guardianships (including petitioning, defending, and appointment as ad litem), consumer fraud/predatory lending, real property, consumer debt issues, and probate
