Dr. King's words are the inspiration and the unifying thread for all of WVU Law's clinics in their mission to support and empower low-income and disadvantaged people.
Supervised by law professors, the clinics serve the public while exposing students to all phases of lawyering, including drafting briefs, trial advocacy, negotiating, and interviewing.
The clinics embody WVU Law's land-grant mission of public service and they are a cornerstone of our legal education experience.
Our clinics provide, on average, more than 30,000 hours of pro bono legal aid per year.
WVU Law offers clinical law opportunities in areas such as:
- General Litigation
- Immigration
- Innocence Project
- Land Use and Sustainable Development
- United States Supreme Court
- Veterans Advocacy
The clinical law program is structured like a major law firm so that students can gain work experience across multiple practice areas.
