Clinics
Participating in a legal clinic allows students to put their theoretical legal knowledge to practice in real-world settings. Students have the opportunity to work on actual cases under the supervision of experienced attorneys, enhancing their legal skills and practical understanding. This hands-on experience is crucial for developing skills and competencies in client interaction, problem-solving, and ethical decision-making.
Legal clinics also benefit the community by offering pro bono services to clients who might not otherwise have access to legal representation, including low-income and underserved people.
Through clinical work, students gain valuable experience while helping to overcome barriers to justice by:
- Representing low-income clients in civil and criminal appeals
- Partnering with local community groups to address systemic injustice in the local community
- Defending our natural resources to protect future generations
- Working to free those that were wrongfully convicted
- Clearing pathways for innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurship
- Leveraging the law to improve health outcomes for low-income patient-clients
- Facilitating trade, development, and economic growth
- Restoring honor to veterans who bravely served their country
