South Texas College of Law’s Direct Representation Clinic

The Direct Representation Clinic provides opportunities for students to develop skills, judgment and public responsibility. After the first year of required courses, the South Texas clinics allow you to apply the knowledge gained in class to real-life clients and situations. Working with clinic attorneys and staff, students prepare and handle cases involving family law with divorce and domestic problems, guardianship, estate planning, and probate issues. A grant from the Rockwell Fund, Inc. expands the services offered by the clinic to include counseling and assistance to targeted populations such as victims of abuse, the homeless, and children with special needs. Additionally, South Texas offers clinical experiences in immigration/human trafficking, family law, domestic violence, actual innocence cases, and estate planning.

Outstanding fulltime and adjunct faculty provide guidance and grounding as students progress from “thinking like a lawyer” to applying core legal concepts to the complexity of modern life.
