Clinical Programs

Community-based service learning has a long tradition at DePaul University, and the College of Law exemplifies this practice through its clinical programs. Under faculty supervision and guidance, students sharpen their skills and knowledge while engaging in legal practice outside the formal classroom setting.

DePaul's legal clinics allow students to contribute to the community beyond the University by fulfilling fundamental societal needs. Such experiences help students to better understand the type of legal work they want to pursue after graduation and provide them with a strong sense of professional accomplishment.

Students earn academic credit while concentrating on the problems faced by clients in six distinct areas:

• Asylum/Immigration
• Civil Rights
• Criminal Appeals
• Death Penalty
• Family Law
• Technology/Intellectual Property
• Misdemeanor
• Special Education Advocacy Legal Clinic
