CLIENT COUNSELING
Discover what it’s really like to work with clients. In our clinics, you’ll develop essential skills in listening, interviewing, and counseling.

Our clinics offer practical training where you gather information, interview clients, draft legal documents, and even try cases. All this, with the guidance of professors and practicing attorneys, provides you with the perfect balance of challenge and support.
GAIN PERSPECTIVE
Step into the shoes of those facing real challenges. Many of our students have their first encounters with people living in poverty or those from diverse backgrounds in our clinics. These experiences will broaden your worldview and shape your understanding of your role as a servant-leader in the legal field.

Balancing Pro Bono work with the demands of practice is a critical skill for any lawyer. In our clinics, you'll learn how to manage your time effectively, ensuring that public service becomes a seamless part of your professional routine.
