Clinical Law Programs
About the Clinic
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere". Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Letter from Birmingham Jail, April 16, 1963
The University of New Mexico School of Law's Clinical Law Program is nationally recognized as one of the best in the United States. More than a clinic, it is one of New Mexico's largest law firms and serves a broad spectrum of low-income clients. Clinical education has been an essential component of the school's curriculum since 1970, and the school remains at the forefront of developing programs in practical lawyering skills. Through the clinic requirement, students are ensured a solid background in professional skills, values and practices as they develop into practicing lawyers.
