"The
Consumer Law Clinic is jam-packed with hands-on lessons in practical lawyering,
from interviewing clients to drafting pleadings to trial appearances.
It's a real chance to make a difference for people who might otherwise
not be able to defend their rights- and to do so in the context of a very
collegial, supportive, and upbeat environment." -Jackie Pontello
