As a pioneer of clinical legal education, the faculty and students at UDC Law continue to expand opportunities for students to engage in the practice of law. Adapting to better meet the needs of students enrolled in the evening program, the Clinical Program launched the “clinical semester,” a 10-credit clinic where evening students learn the substantive law and lawyering skills in the most realistic setting. This clinical experience not only contributes to a better understanding of the law learned in the classroom, but also gives UDC Law graduates a significant advantage in the workplace over those whose legal education lacks such practical experience.
