The University of Texas at Austin   School of Law

The University of Texas School of Law has one of the largest and most vibrant clinical programs in the country. We established our first clinic in 1974 and have steadily expanded our offerings, adding seven new courses in the last three years. Over 450 upper-class students participate annually in our fifteen clinics and seven internships.

Students in our clinical courses work on legal issues in real-world settings.

Clinics and internships integrate skills, theory, strategy, and law, building a bridge between the classroom and the profession.
