Under the supervision of professors, students work in 17 clinics with clients who are mothers, fathers, immigrants, leaders of nonprofit organizations, and small businesses. Some clients are elderly. Some are unemployed. Some are accused of crimes. Some want to make the world a better place. All are real people with real legal problems, and our students drive their representation. They gain valuable real-world experience and make a difference in our community by performing legal work for their clients.
Mitchell Hamline houses one of the first clinical programs to be established at any U.S. law school, and the program has been among the top-ranked in the nation for more than a decade.
