“I learned time management skills, client interaction skills, and improved upon my own research skills.”
“I would highly recommend this Clinic for students looking for work on a variety of different legal topics; it was a great learning experience.”
“It’s great to feel you’re in charge of a case. . . I learned client interview skills, how to write letters to clients, basic client interaction skills.”
“Representing a wealth of clients with various legal problems and actually going to court was an amazing opportunity.
