The Clinical Experience

Clinic Fellow Jack Lerner interviewed on
the steps of the Ninth Circuit Court of
Appeals, San Francisco

Students report time and again that clinical experiences give meaning and excitement to their law school program. In the Samuelson Clinic, students with a passion for social justice combine that passion with expertise in intellectual property, privacy, First Amendment, cyberlaw, and the life sciences. Graduate students from other departments are also encouraged to apply to the Clinic.

During their first semester, law students enrolled in the Samuelson Clinic receive four hours of clinical credit, and two hours of seminar credit. In subsequent semesters, students can earn up to six hours of clinical credit.

During the semester, students will have some client meetings, regular team meetings, and regular meetings with their Clinical supervisor to discuss their project.
