Come Find Out What’s New in Clinical Programs

Applications are no longer being accepted for the Civil, Consumer Law, Immigration, Mediation and Transactional Clinic’s due to the clinics being full for spring 2012.  However, applications are still being accepted for the Judicial Internship, and Externship Clinics.  The Criminal Practice Clinic, while it is presently full for the spring, we ARE taking names for a wait list.  Thanks.

CLINICAL LEGAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS offer law students an exciting opportunity to have hands-on, practical experience in the legal profession while still in law school. Under the guidance and supervision of clinical faculty, our law students handle all aspect of cases, from interviewing, to filing motions, to conducting trials in court.

The mission of Clinical Legal Education Programs is threefold.

• To train law students to be competent, professional and ethical advocates for their clients
• To provide first-rate pro-bono legal representation to indigent clients and communities in Harris County in the areas of law covered by the particular clinic
• To provide support to the courts and legislature and to develop policies that can improve the surrounding communities

The late professor Joseph E. Hensley began the University of Houston Law Center's Clinical Programs in the early 1960's. Thanks to his vision, leadership and compassion, thousands of UH Law Center Graduates have continued his commitment to provide quality representation to those in need.
