An Introduction to Clinical Legal Education at HLS

Incoming LLMs and transfer students are invited to an hour-long Zoom panel on Wednesday, July 22 at 12:15 p.m. (EST) that is co-sponsored by the Office of Clinical and Pro Bono Programs, the Dean of Students Office, and the Graduate Program – “An Introduction to Clinical Legal Education at HLS.” The session will be geared toward LLM and transfer students, but all students are welcome to attend.

The session will feature clinical faculty and instructors from a handful of our clinics, each speaking about the legal skills their students engage in and what the average day of a clinical student might look like throughout a semester. Our goal is to help students get a better understanding of the clinical model at HLS and the variety of experiences students can have, while presenting the opportunity for students to engage and ask questions.

Please register for the session here.

The Office of Clinical and Pro Bono Programs (known as “OCP”) oversees the academic clinical program (registration for clinics and clinical seminars), the experiential learning requirement, the professional writing requirement, and the 50-hour HLS pro bono requirement for graduation. We look forward to meeting you all and getting to know you over the next two years.
