Students represent nonprofit organizations, small businesses and community groups to provide them with the business laws tools they need to develop sustainable businesses and communities. Typical legal matters handled involve real estate, nonprofit tax, contract, and corporate law issues. Students may also participate in local and statewide public policy matters 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.
