By design, the Clinic functions as a laboratory for justice.
The mission of the William S. Boyd School of Law clinical programs is to offer students an integrated academic and practice-based educational experience, to teach them to be reflective practitioners and community-oriented professionals, to provide service to communities in need of legal assistance, and to improve the quality of and access to legal systems in those communities. Through training, advocacy, scholarship, and community partnerships, we strive to serve the community and improve the law and law practice.
