Clinical Programs
At the UNC School of Law, clinical legal educational provides students the opportunity to learn legal theory and legal practice while providing much needed legal assistance to under-represented individuals and organizations. Students represent clients with a wide range of legal problems and handle litigation, transactional, and policy matters from beginning to end. The clinical offerings are sufficiently broad to allow students to work in a variety of legal areas and enhance a number of skills: civil rights, consumer, criminal defense, community development, domestic violence, housing, human rights, family, immigration, and policy work with legislators and NGOs [more about clinical programs...].

Testimonial for UNC School of Law Clinics
We hope that our clinic students gain practical litigation and negotiation skills and a hands-on opportunity to help people. Helping people through legal and life challenges is an attorney's greatest calling. It is a precious skill which is difficult to teach outside a real life setting.
