Our team of experienced interdisciplinary educators and advocates work together to help our constituents at local and national levels.
Child Protection Clinic
Through an interdisciplinary, holistic approach law students represent parents whose children have been removed from the home through the Child Protection Clinic. Most often, the law students meet their client at the initial hearing and continues to represent them throughout the case, including at trial if necessary.
