law clinics
Law clinics are programs offered by law schools where students provide legal assistance to clients under the supervision of experienced attorneys. These clinics allow students to gain practical experience while helping individuals who may not afford legal services. Common areas of focus include family law, immigration, and criminal defense.
Clients typically receive free or low-cost legal help, and the clinics often serve the local community. By participating in law clinics, students develop essential skills such as legal research, client communication, and courtroom procedures, preparing them for their future careers in the legal field.
