Clinics give students hands-on legal experience under the supervision of attorneys trained in individually educating and mentoring students. With clinical placements in-house and at independent organizations across the country in both public and private sectors, and the opportunity for students to create their own independent placements, HLS offers more clinical opportunities than any law school in the world.
