Our clinics offer a robust opportunity to get hands-on learning to become student attorneys working under the supervision of an expert practitioner who happens to be a full-time member of our faculty as well. You will learn the skills of lawyering. You will learn how to interview a client. You will learn how to gather facts about a client, how to obtain documents that are necessary in order to get the client the services that he or she needs.
We provide a chance for every student who wants to participate in a clinic a chance to take a clinic and that's unique because other opportunities can be kind of limited. You know, you don't have full responsibility for your case, you're not the one doing home visits for your client, doing the client interview, appearing on the record. And in clinic, those are all things that you do as the student attorney.
They are practice-ready attorneys following their clinics. We have bankruptcy, we have the senior citizens project, we have an immigration clinic, where we assist persons that are seeking asylum, we have an education justice clinic. We also have mediation clinics in order to avoid the cost and the time that it takes to litigate so we have a mediation clinic and landlord tenant matters. We have a mediation in child support matters.
That's why we think it's really important for students before we dispatch them into the world that they get a chance to really do that work and do it under our careful supervision and with our clinic faculty who represent so many different practice areas and really have close connections with the community of lawyers that we're going to be sending our students out into.
