Law Clinics
Overview
Our Law Clinics provide the invaluable opportunity for our students to work with real clients, attorneys, interpreters, judges and community organizations. We operate a teaching law firm that provides critical and quality legal services to members of the Greater Dayton Legal Community who may not otherwise have access to legal representation.
Legal interns will represent actual clients under the supervision of faculty members who are licensed and actively engaged in the practice of law. Depending on the clients' needs and the scope of our retained representation, you will be responsible for all aspects of the client's legal work, including:
- Client interview and counseling
- Case planning
- Legal research and drafting of legal documents
- Court pre-trial conferences
- Fact discovery and pre-trial motions
- Negotiated and mediated resolution
- Administrative hearings or trial
- Objections and Appeals
Clinic areas of law include civil, criminal, immigration and administrative law. Clinic offerings vary by semester.
We are a teaching law office operating primarily during the fall and spring semesters (August 15 through May 15). Most clients are referred through area courts or organizations with whom we collaborate. Questions outside these referrals may be directed to:
