Students are integral to the Clinical Program’s mission to advance racial, economic, and social justice.
The program includes clinics at the law school and at the East Bay Community Law Center, led by faculty members with deep subject matter expertise and a passion for teaching and justice. Clinic seminars offer students a foundation in law and practice, while hands-on client work builds critical lawyering skills.
Founded in 1998 with a generous gift by the Bernard E. and Alba Witkin Charitable Foundation.
