Lewis & Clark Legal Clinic

The Lewis and Clark Legal Clinic is the civil practice clinic for the Law School, providing students with practical "hands on" experience in developing lawyering skills.

Student participants assist in the representation of clients and learn the basic lawyering skills of client counseling; fact investigation; problem solving; drafting documents; negotiating; office practice; and administrative, trial, and appellate advocacy. The Clinic accepts for representation only those cases which maximize the student's opportunities to learn and develop practical lawyering skills. All students act under the direct supervision of the clinical faculty, all of whom are attorneys.

The Clinic represents low-income individuals experiencing a variety of civil and administrative law problems. These legal problems include, but are not limited to: unemployment compensation, residential evictions, chapter 7 bankruptcy, child support modifications, domestic violence cases, and tax controversies with the Internal Revenue Service.
