Students, supervised by an experienced legal services attorney, spend one semester providing legal services to indigent clients living in the South Coast area. The clinic is located in one of the city’s legal services offices, South Coastal Counties Legal Services, Inc., in Fall River. Cases range from family law to landlord-tenant law to government benefits. Students in the clinic attend weekly class seminars, have prime responsibility for handling their clients’ cases, including court room experience as lead counsel, and are expected to average 20 hours each week in their clinic work.
