Clinical work requires students to meet the professional responsibility obligations associated with being a lawyer, under the close supervision of faculty. The nature of the work varies significantly among different clinics, creating a variety of opportunities and expectations for students. All clinics have strict attendance policies, and students are involved in collaborative work with faculty and typically with fellow students. Because of the demands of cases and projects, many clinics require students to meet inflexible deadlines, engage in occasional work outside of normal business hours (including responding to emails and other communications), and some travel.

Prior to applying to a clinic, students are asked to carefully review all information on that clinic’s website about the way the clinic operates and expectations for students. The clinical faculty encourages any student with questions about the operations of a particular clinic to contact that clinic’s faculty as early as possible. Apply only to clinics in which you are prepared to enroll.
