All of the six legal clinics at the Quinnipiac University School of Law tackle real-life legal issues from right here on campus.

The Civil and Tax clinics operate within the law school’s Legal Clinic, an on-campus law office that provides no-cost legal services to low-income people living in the New Haven region. They enroll about 60 students each year.

The Defense and Prosecution Appellate clinics also operate at the law school, but function as satellite offices of Connecticut’s two state criminal appellate agencies. About 16 students are enrolled each year.

All clinic courses are open to students who have completed at least 30 credits of course work and any prerequisite courses.

Each clinic course includes both casework and a contemporaneous classroom component in which students consider their practice experiences and discuss the legal and ethical issues they encounter.
