GSU COL Pro Bono Program

Project Description:
The Rome Circuit Defender Office of the Georgia Public Defender Council (GPDC) is seeking one student to draft a memo analyzing a potential motion to suppress. The student will receive an indictment and incident report. The memo (no more than 2–3 pages) should include the student’s opinion regarding the viability of the motion, relevant caselaw, and how caselaw applies to these facts. This project will require an estimated 2 to 3 hours per week until the project is done for an estimated total of 8 hours over the span of 2–4 weeks, and it can be done remotely.

How to Sign Up:
To sign up, you need to have completed the Criminal Law course. RSVP below! We will connect you with GPDC to get started.
