| 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. | |||||

| 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 | |||||
