Students represent nonprofit organizations and individuals involved in community development. Students provide business law services needed to promote sustainable economic development in low-income communities, including job creation, affordable housing, and asset-building strategies. Students also represent small businesses. Typical matters handled involve real estate, tax, contract, and corporate law issues. Students may also participate in local and statewide public policy development on issues related to community development. This clinic is a partnership between the Law School and Texas Community Building With Attorney Resources (Texas C-BAR), a project of Texas RioGrande Legal Aid.
