Rule 16 of the Rules Governing Admission to the Bar of Maryland allows law students enrolled in an ABA approved law school clinic program to practice on a limited basis in Maryland under a supervising attorney.
A “clinical program” means a law school program for credit where a student obtains experience in the operation of the legal system by engaging in the practice of law. The law student practice must be under the direct supervision of a faculty member, and the Section Council of the Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar of the Maryland State Bar Association, Inc. must approve the clinical program.
