Clinical Law Program provides ‘critical’ opportunities for students to be lawyers Professor Susan Cook JD’96
By Sarah Bello
During the first two years of law school, students learn to think like a lawyer. Willamette’s Clinical Law Program teaches them to be a lawyer, offering the chance to gain practical skills while taking ownership of real legal cases. Students’ work in the clinics is heavily supervised by professors who are active and licensed attorneys. Current clinic offerings include hands-on learning in Immigration Law and Trusts and Estates.
