Catalog description

The Access to Justice Clinic provides legal services to clients with limited incomes in civil matters, including housing, public benefits, family, and education law cases. Under the supervision of the clinic director, student attorneys work to advance the rights of people experiencing poverty before local courts and administrative agencies. Throughout the semester-long course, students will identify barriers people experiencing poverty face in accessing legal services and consider how to incorporate access to justice initiatives into their professional lives.
