Student Experience
Working at TLC with a skilled attorney handling a diverse caseload, your clinical experience will afford you maximum exposure to — and immersion in — the actual practice of transactional law. Students are exposed to the various challenges faced by clients engaged in transactional activities and to the laws, policies and institutions impacting clients’ ability to succeed. In addition, the clinical experience directly engages students in critical reflection about ethical, strategic and policy dimensions of legal practice and the community effect of their legal counsel.
The Clinics’ practice is varied. Insofar as consistent with our ethical obligations to clients, we seek to tailor students’ clinical experience to meet their individual requirements, experience, goals and expectations.
Key Attributes of the TLC clinical experience:
- You will have direct responsibility for your clients’ cases, including direct and frequent client contact. Your cases are your cases. You will likely have more direct client contact than you might have for many years after you graduate.
- You will work under the supervision of an experienced attorney, dedicated to the highest standards of legal practice and your education. Your supervisor will be a mentor and teacher, helping you to learn as much as possible about legal practice from your clinical work.
- Your work will be engaging and interesting. TLC students typically work on three to five or more cases during a semester, depending on the number of hours committed to clinical practice. The work is varied.
