Science, Health & Information Clinic

The Science, Health, and Information Clinic provides legal services to scientific and medical researchers, patient and consumer groups, nonprofit organizations, and other clients. No special degrees or work experience are required, and neither is any experience with any particular area of law. There are no pre- or co-requisite courses. All clinic students, regardless of background, are encouraged to draw on their personal experiences with science, technology, and health care.

Fieldwork is conducted under faculty supervision. Student attorneys in the clinic fully inhabit the role of the lawyer, gaining real-world experience. Every semester, the clinic takes on a wide range of fieldwork projects offering students broad exposure to different areas of health care, science, technology, law, and policy. Students are matched to their fieldwork projects based on their personal interests and career goals.
