Law School Clinics and Academic Programs, 1971-2020

Abstract Or Scope

The University of Connecticut School of Law, a pioneer in experiential legal education, allows students to choose from a broad and diverse range of options to engage in the real-world practice of law, to put their classroom learning into practice, and to develop their legal knowledge, skills and professional identities. These choices include 11 supervised in-house and partnership clinics and six field placement programs, all of which satisfy UConn Law's practice-based learning requirement. In addition, the associate dean for academic affairs may designate certain courses to satisfy this requirement. Through these programs, each student receives at least one intensive, carefully supervised live-lawyering experience before graduation, an essential supplement to classroom-based learning that helps prepare them to practice law competently and ethically. https://law.uconn.edu/academics/clinics-experiential-education/ retrieved July 7, 2023.
