I greatly enjoyed my experience serving various clients in the Domestic Violence Clinic (DVC). What I learned working with Professor Lungwitz (who was a fabulous supervisor), interacting with clients, and preparing for trial far exceeded what I expected. The work and required skills were not only readily practical (e.g. preparing court documents, counseling distraught clients), […] -

I can confidently say, without a doubt in my mind, that the Criminal Defense Clinic was the single best thing I did at Texas Law. The supervisors are top-notch and consistently find a way to reward the students with experience, supplemented by valuable anecdotes from both other students and the supervisors themselves.

Nearly every week issues of professional conduct arose that were more engaging than […] -

I think the disconnect between the classroom and actual practice is one of the most frustrating parts of law school. While I’ve had many valuable educational experiences at UT, the Clinic is the one thing I’ve done during my tenure in which I felt like a lawyer—with all the joy, frustration and terror that goes […] -

The Criminal Defense Clinic served me well as a valuable stepping-stone from the world of legal theory to the world of legal practice, all while allowing me to help real people deal with difficult legal problems. Because the human element becomes front-and-center when navigating the criminal justice system, the Clinic and its wonderful supervising attorneys […] -

Participation in the clinic has allowed me to dramatically build my legal skill set while working on cases that actually matter to clients and learning substantively about issues that I’m really interested in. I came to law school to be able to do this type of work—and I’ve gotten to do it already. I really […] -

I came into the clinic with little knowledge of civil rights law and left with a solid understanding of the substantive law and really useful litigation experience. In fact, I enjoyed working on the case so much; I came back for a second semester!
