Columbus Community Legal Services offers two clinical courses: the Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Clinic and the Families and the Law Clinic. The questions should not be WHETHER to enroll in a clinic during law school but WHEN you will do so. Below are two student testimonials about their experience with CCLS.

 

Special Notice for All Students Interested in Enrolling in a CCLS Clinical Course Next Semester

Each semester, Columbus Community Legal Services (CCLS) conducts a pre-registration process for students who wish to enroll in one of the office’s clinical courses during the next semester.

Participation in a CCLS clinical course offers students the opportunity to learn practical trial techniques, refine research and writing skills, and develop other important lawyering skills while representing real clients in real cases. There are no course prerequisites for enrollment in any of the CCLS clinics.

Students may satisfy both the professional skills requirement and the practice-oriented writing requirement by completing a semester at CCLS if enrolled for six credits. A student may also satisfy the Law School’s Transition to Practice requirement through enrollment in a CCLS clinical course.
