The L&E Clinic provides rising 2L and 3Ls with a flexible experiential learning experience.

While students can join the clinic for one or multiple semesters for a variety of credits, students generally take the Clinic for 3-5 credits. 1 credit represents 4 billable hours per week.

We are committed to accepting as many students as possible each semester. We evaluate applicants for background and interest in entrepreneurship, business transactions, and/or science.

 

Billable Hour Requirement Per Credit Hour

Clinic student attorneys track their billable hours as they would in a law firm. Billable hours include client work, class and reasonable homework time, and any marketing and networking commitments. 

Students are expected to put in on average 12 hours of work a week if they have registered for 3 credits.

• present case studies analyzing interesting client issues,
• discuss client issues,
• share work product, and
• actively participate in lectures by guest speakers discussing specific areas of law, business, or entrepreneurship.
