Community Legal Services (CLS)
Our legal clinics is a student led program which offer assistance to community members facing legal challenges in the areas of Bankruptcy, Elder & Health Law, and Immigration who are unable to afford private attorneys. Under the supervision of experienced faculty, you'll collaborate with law students in a professional, law-office environment.
We provide pro bono (free) legal assistance in the following areas:
- Bankruptcy (Chapter 7 cases only)
- Elder and Health Law (for seniors age 60+)

We are unable to assist with legal issues outside these areas.
To qualify for legal services, you must:
- Have a low to modest income

Be 60 years or older (for Elder and Health Law Clinic services)
