Community Impact Through Legal Clinics

Established in 1971 as a volunteer project, the USD Legal Clinics have evolved into a comprehensive network of 13 direct client facing clinics providing free legal services to low income San Diego County residents. The Legal Clinics multiply the impact of theoretical law education by coupling practical legal skills as students represent real clients in real cases. Students working at the Legal Clinics don't just observe impact, they make it.
