Thomas & Mack Legal Clinic - A Laboratory for Justice

Clinical Legal Education

Clinical legal education is a method of teaching in which students learn substantive law and practice in the context of real or simulated problems or cases. The purpose of live client clinics like the  Education Advocacy, Immigration, Mediation, and Misdemeanor Clinics is to enable students to develop the skills necessary to become legal professionals of the highest order: critical thinking, a commitment to excellent practice and service, an understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of legal systems and professional rules, and a balance between confidence and humility.
