OTHER CLINICAL OPPORTUNITIES

The Legal Policy Clinic is also unique in that it is a “clientless” clinic involved in advocacy outside, as well as inside, the courtroom. Students learn public policy advocacy by completing legal analysis of pending legislation, petitions to governmental agencies and the courts, and by developing solutions to community problems.
