UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA LAW — Through 24 clinics at the University of Virginia School of Law, students have the chance to practice their hands-on lawyering skills in a variety of ways, from arguing a case in federal court to helping save a client from eviction to assisting asylum-seekers or prosecuting misdemeanor trials, among other options. The semester- or yearlong courses allow students to learn under the supervision of practicing attorneys. Professor Sarah Shalf ’01, director of clinical programs at the Law School, recently discussed how students benefit from taking clinics and how the process for enrollment is changing this summer for the better.
