Rule 91. PURPOSE

The purpose of this rule is to recognize and support experiential learning opportunities that currently exist for law students in Georgia and to broaden the potential range of such opportunities, thereby expanding access to justice through the work of properly qualified and supervised law students who are permitted, as if admitted and licensed to practice law, to represent and appear on behalf of units of government and persons unable to afford legal services. By expanding the range of work that law students may do as if admitted to practice, this rule does not, however, address nor intend in any way to restrict the wide variety of activities in which law students otherwise assist lawyers in their practice of law, including both law school educational programs and traditional work as law clerks.
