The clinical work was not only exciting and rewarding, but it was also extremely practical. As a practicing attorney I use the skills that I learned in the Civil Rights Clinic every single day. I would especially recommend taking the clinic if you are thinking of perusing a fellowship. It taught me how to thoughtfully […] -

My two semesters in the Criminal Defense Clinic were the most educational and inspirational of law school. From day one, the clinic supervisors held students to high expectations. Supervisors were always available to provide guidance and support, but it was clear the clients were ours, the cases our responsibility. As a result, my skills grew […] -

The Mental Health Clinic was the most rewarding and eye opening experience that I had while in law school. I was put in situations that I never could’ve imagined if I’d tried, requiring both legal skill and creativity, empathy, and an open mind for the challenges faced within our mental health system. Working individually with […] -

I absolutely loved participating in the Immigration Clinic at Texas Law. Doing everything from advocating for the release of families from detention to preparing asylum cases and engaging in interesting research motivated me to pursue a career defending immigrant’s rights.

The Clinic has provided me with an amazing opportunity to work directly with clients who have challenging cases. The experience also provided me with several opportunities to hone my advocacy skills by first chairing during all hearings and trials.

I learned so much from Professors Steglich and Gilman during our time in the Immigration clinic and during the hearings for our client. I was very lucky to have had such a great student partner as well. I couldn’t have made it through everything without her partnership or our professor’s guidance. Although we didn’t get […] -

My time at the Children’s Rights Clinic was invaluable. This clinic provides “hands-on” experience in a way new lawyers at firms don’t often get.
