Clinical Programs
Family Law
The Family Law Clinic at DePaul University College of Law gives third-year law students the opportunity to represent persons in divorce and domestic violence cases. Clients are referred to the clinic by the Chicago Legal Aid Bureau. Adjunct Instructor and family law attorney, Susan C. Haddad, assists the students in representing their clients. The cases, readings, and clinic assignments are designed to give students an overview of Illinois family law and its practice, as well as an appreciation of how a lawyer's actions and judgment affect the well-being of each member of a client's family, not only during the course of representation but also for years to come.
