Advocates for low-income clients, the Civil Justice Clinic addresses various civil cases, focusing on housing, family, consumer law, probate, bankruptcy, unemployment compensation, social security, SSI disability benefits, and other public benefits. Under faculty supervision, students actively engage in cases such as defending eviction actions, assisting tenants with repairs, litigating to recover security deposits, opposing illegal rent increases, and handling cases related to real estate, home repair, car repair, or purchase scams, divorce, custody, alimony, domestic violence, child support, and social security disability. Students undertake the entire legal process, including client interviews, negotiations, drafting legal documents, and conducting depositions and trials. Additionally, the clinic periodically undertakes broader law reform and impact advocacy initiatives on systemic issues within civil poverty law.
