Rule 711 and Courtroom Supervision

Hosted by PILI, this virtual discussion will bring together legal aid and public interest attorneys and supervisors. Participants will explore effective supervision of law student Interns participating in court proceedings, including students practicing under Illinois Supreme Court Rule 711. Participants will discuss best practices for preparing and supporting interns in courtroom settings, providing meaningful experiential learning opportunities, balancing supervision responsibilities, and fostering student confidence and professionalism. The program will also provide an opportunity for legal aid supervisors to connect with peers, share strategies and challenges, and discuss approaches to creating impactful and supportive courtroom experiences for Interns.

There will be 1 hour of Illinois MCLE credit offered for this discussion.
