The UCI Law Clinics are part of the UCI Law experiential learning program. We offer a total of eleven core clinical courses as a part of the graduation requirements for law students, including the Community and Economic Development Clinic, the Community Violence Intervention Clinic, the Criminal Justice Clinic, the Defending Democracy Clinic, the Domestic Violence Clinic, the Environmental Law Clinic, the Immigrant & Racial Justice Solidarity Clinic, the Intellectual Property, Arts & Technology Clinic, the International Justice Clinic, and the Worker & Tenants Law & Organizing Clinic. Although each of these clinics has its own faculty director, they function as one law firm. Operating as one firm, the clinics share staff, computing and IT services, a suite of offices, and a common work area on the third floor of the MPAA building.
