“The clinic prepares you extensively for real world transactional practice.”
—Alia Derrick, ’07
“ As a student planning to practice transactional law after graduation, the Community Development Clinic allowed me to gain hands on experience, while also making a meaningful, positive impact in the community. I have no doubt that my future practice will be greatly enhanced by the work I completed during the Clinic.”
—Michael Hamilton , ’08
“The clinic is a great way of learning transactional lawyering, and the client contact that it provides helps make the work meaningful. This was a unique opportunity for me to gain experience in transactional work while helping small businesses and nonprofits in low-income areas.”
—Happy Rahman, ’07, associate at Scanlan, Buckle & Young in Austin, TX
