During the 2025-26 academic year, approximately 430 School of Law students enrolled or re-enrolled in one of the school's 17 clinic/externship programs and cumulatively engaged in nearly 84,000 service-learning hours. More than 25,000 of those hours occurred under the direct supervision of law school faculty members directing in-house clinical programs – all of which make a true impact locally, statewide and across the nation by offering students hands-on, quality learning opportunities and providing legal services to a variety of communities.
