So What Do Current Interns Have To Say About Clinic?
"Clinic has been a rewarding and valuable experience for me. Clinic eases the transition by introducing students to the everyday realities and implications of the practice of law. The actual process involved in starting a case and seeing it through to completion is no longer a mystery to me. The opportunity to meet with clients and handle their cases while being able to go to my supervising attorney with questions and concerns has been a great learning experience . . . a real capstone to my legal education."

"Enrolling in the Law Clinic gives students the opportunity to get practical experience in a structured environment. The experience makes you better prepared to practice law. Clinic should be a required course."
Tim Stock, Class of 2004
"Every law student should take Clinic because the study of law is disconnected from the practice of law. However, the Clinic is the place where the theory of law and the practice of law intersect. The professors in the Clinic go out of their way to ensure that the clinical students correctly intertwine the theories learned in the classroom into solutions for clinical clients. Finally, the practice of law is all about helping clients and the Clinic offers students the opportunity to help individuals in most need."
Eduardo Beckett, Class of 2004
"While in Clinic I have learned the importance of organization and a calendar! Most important, I have learned the value of helping clients as their counsel and as a caring human being. Working in the Clinic has put me miles ahead of my fellow classmates who chose not to enroll in Clinic as far as how to handle a case from beginning to end. Clinic was definitely the highlight of law school."
