Clinical education at the University of Minnesota Law School includes a wide range of legal clinics that provide students with the opportunity to develop their legal skills and gain real-world client-service experience in a supportive setting. Under the Student Practice Rule adopted by the Minnesota Supreme Court, clinic students are permitted to represent clients in actual court and administrative agency proceedings under the supervision of clinic faculty. The depth and breadth of our clinical offerings range from sports, name, image & likeness to federal immigration litigation, racial justice, consumer protection, federal tax, business law, intellectual property law, environmental & energy law, and many more. With more than 25 clinics, over 50% of our student body enrolls in one or more clinics while at Minnesota Law.
Real Cases, Real Clients, Real Impact.
Clinics play a key role in the the Minnesota Difference, providing students with essential opportunities to gain real world experience while studying at law school. Our students don’t just learn to think like a lawyer, but how to act like one, too.
