Access to Justice Hybrid Clinic
More than twenty-five million Americans are denied legal assistance each year due to lack of resources. This crisis impacts individuals and families that are part of our most vulnerable populations.
Five years into its highly successful run, the School of Law’s Access to Justice Hybrid Clinic has made real strides in ensuring equal access to the justice system with the Federal Court Pro Se Assistance Program.
