Using legal skill and passion to contribute to the public good.
The Moritz College of Law offers multiple programs that provide direct legal support to members of the public. Our programs regularly partner with community organizations and state and local governments to bridge the gap between academic research and policy realities. The clinics at the College focus on reducing barriers to access to legal services and generating innovative solutions to legal challenges impacting our communities. The college also provides a broad range of public events that serve to educate the community on a variety of legal topics.
