Advanced Parole and Medical Release Practice (LAWS 4308)

Law · Boston College

Students who have not previously engaged in medical release petitioning will interview inmates, assess their medical conditions (with aid of nursing students), formulate re-entry plans (with aid of graduate social work students), and file petitions with the Department of Correction for release of permanently incapacitated incarcerated persons. Students will also prepare life clients for parole hearings in cases that present issues of advanced complexity. Time requirement is a minimum of 84.8 hours. This class does not count toward experiential credits.
