Students enrolled in either of the two semester-long clinical programs explore the legal requirements for the formation and operation of small businesses and nonprofits and the role both play in our community, while honing their writing, research, and advocacy skills on real client matters.
The Community Development Clinic offers students two clinical opportunities.
The Nonprofit Clinic
The Nonprofit Clinic's student projects include:
- drafting and filing incorporation documents
- revision of bylaws
- compliance with fundraising regulations
- research on legal issues
- obtaining federal tax-exempt status for new organizations
In addition, students may brief boards of directors or groups of nonprofits on a variety of legal issues and developments impacting the nonprofit sector.
The Small Business Clinic
The Small Business Clinic assists entrepreneurs with choice of entity and drafting formation documents.
