Students attorneys, past and current, have many good things to say about their clinic experience. Here are a few examples:
“It was my desire to enroll in the clinic because I believed that it would be a good way for me to practice the lawyering skills that I have been learning in my first five semesters of law school. As my clinic work progressed, I discovered that being a member of this clinic had intensive, life-altering experiences. These experiences helped me to focus and develop what is important to me and how I choose to see myself within the world of law and lawyers. I have transformed from someone who only saw himself doing transactional work to someone capable of including the social fabric of my community.”
“Prior to participating in the clinic, my commitment to law school had been entirely self-serving. The clinic provided me with the opportunity to be committed to a cause other than myself.”
