Students enrolled in the program represent real clients in actual cases and transactions under the close supervision of law faculty. The Clinical Law Program comprises several advanced legal education courses including specialized clinics in Business Law, Trusts and Estates,, Child and Family Advocacy, Immigration, and Community & Environmental Justice.
