Clinical Programs
Clinical courses are an integral part of a New England Law School education. These programs allow students to put classroom learning into practice in a real-world setting. Along the way, students undertake rigorous legal and factual analysis and gain exposure to issues of policy and ethics that seldom arise in the classroom.
New England Law is a pioneer in combining a classroom component with each clinical program, an approach that enhances the educational value of the practical experience of field work. Most clinics also require a course in a related subject area as a prerequisite or co-requisite.
Students who have taken a clinic early on at New England Law often find that the experience has enriched their understanding of upper-level classroom courses. Clinical programs may also augment their preparation for the bar examination while providing a boost to both their résumés and networking efforts. in addition, the clinical courses provide excellent opportunities to perform public service and public interest legal work .
