Students gain legal experience through clinics, field placements
“
Not only did the Legal Aid Clinic provide me with hands-on experience actively representing clients, from procedural paperwork filings to appearances in court, but it also gave me the chance to experience what it feels like to know clients as real people and not classroom simulations.” Austyn Caisse, L’21 | Kansas City, MO Legal Aid Clinic
“
With the Elder Law Field Placement Program, I was able to advocate for those who need it most. This rewarding advocacy experience will also help me in practice with problem-solving and real-world communications with clients.” Ethan Crockett | Baxter Springs, KS | J.D. candidate, 2022 Elder Law Field Placement
“
The Project for Innocence taught me that law school is more than just exams and hypotheticals; it gives you the opportunity and ability to help real people.” Parker Bednasek | Charlotte, NC | J.D. candidate, 2022 Paul E. Wilson Project for Innocence & Post-Conviction Remedies
