Clinical Programs

The Jacob Burns Community Legal Clinics were founded in 1971, and were dedicated in 1991 to acknowledge the generous support of Jacob Burns (LL.B. '24, LL.D. '70). The clinical programs vary considerably in purpose, duration, requirements, and duties, and every year special projects increase the scope of this rich offering. Despite their diversity, all the Clinics share a common goal — to provide members of the community with critically needed legal services while giving motivated law students the opportunity to experience the practical application of law and to develop skills as negotiators, advocates, and litigators within an exciting and supportive educational environment. Services are made available to Spanish-speaking residents of the area through the Clinics' several bilingual attorneys and students. The Community Legal Clinics operate under the direction of Associate Dean Phyllis Goldfarb.
