New Clinic – Civil Justice Clinic now accepting students for Spring 2024

We are pleased to announce the launch of the Civil Justice Clinic at Georgetown Law, beginning in the spring 2024 semester.

Student Attorneys in the Civil Justice Clinic help low-income clients achieve access to justice through advocacy in a variety of legal contexts. With a particular focus on economic justice, students help their clients solve legal problems and provide representation in civil matters in the courts and administrative agencies of the District of Columbia and Maryland. The Civil Justice Clinic’s docket typically contains cases involving employment, public benefits, consumer, and housing matters. The clinic is particularly committed to representing low-wage workers in wage theft cases against exploitative employers. Students work in teams of 2, and each team handles 2-3 cases. The deadline to apply is Monday April 10 at 12 noon.
