Welcome to the Law and Policy in Action Website

Our specialty clinic offering provides law students the opportunity to partner with grassroots organizations, non-profits, businesses and public officials to solve recurring and systemic problems that cannot be adequately addressed through litigation or traditional legal methods. Law Policy and Action is an award-winning clinic program that furnishes representation, research, technical assistance and advice, legislative advocacy, workshops, awareness training and other community-based services and initiatives.
