7898. Clinic: Transactional

The Transactional Clinic is a new, in-house legal clinic, the successor to the clinic previously offered in partnership with Connecticut Urban Legal Initiative (CULI), which has ceased operation. The Transactional Clinic offers students experience performing transactional work for nonprofit and entrepreneurial clients, including small businesses, community-based organizations, and student athletes. Students work under the supervision of clinic faculty and apply their lawyering skills when performing transactional work, including client interviewing and counseling, reviewing and drafting contracts and other documents, and assisting in other legal matters. The classroom component involves a weekly two-hour seminar that provides the theoretical and practical foundation necessary to perform transactional legal work.
