Students are exposed to the various challenges faced by clients engaged in transactional activities and to the laws, policies and institutions impacting clients\u2019 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Clinics\u2019 practice is varied. Insofar as consistent with our ethical obligations to clients, we seek to tailor students\u2019 clinical experience to meet their individual requirements, experience, goals and expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Attributes of the TLC clinical experience:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You will have direct responsibility for your clients\u2019 cases, including direct and frequent client contact. Your cases are <strong><em>your<\/em><\/strong> cases. You will likely have more direct client contact than you might have for many years after you graduate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>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.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your work will be engaging and interesting.
