Housing and Eviction Defense Clinic

This off-site, one semester, 3-credit clinic, is in partnership with South Coast County Legal Services (SCCLS). Students will represent indigent clients who are facing eviction or have other tenant legal concerns. Students will work directly with clients and supervising attorneys and typically will appear in court. Bristol County Housing Court is in session on Thursdays and Fridays and students with availability on those days will be preferred. Students will work at the offices of SCCLS. The clinic seminar is held at the law school.
