Stanford Community Law Clinic

About This Office

The Stanford Community Law Clinic is a direct-services clinic serving low-income people in and around East Palo Alto, an economically challenged community four miles from the law school campus. With an emphasis on trial-level skills—including fact investigation, legal research, client counseling, and negotiation—students represent clients in employment, housing, and criminal-record-clearance matters. Some cases ripen into litigation in either local courts or administrative agencies.
