Law School Clinics

Practical experience and face-to-face time with clients isn’t, and shouldn’t be, experience you only have after graduation. The School of Law’s eight clinics all offer opportunities to focus on public interest law. It’s in your best interest to take part in one.

In the clinics you will:

• Gain practical experience
• Expand and polish your advocacy skill set
• Help people who need your services to fully access the justice system
• Work alongside leading experts with significant field experience

Each year more than 100 students participate in clinics. In the program, you’ll work 20 hours each week for 11 weeks under close faculty supervision on real cases in substantive areas. Together, you and your classmates will contribute more than 20,000 annual hours of much needed legal assistance while gaining invaluable hands-on experience.
