CLINICS/EXTERNSHIPS

Satisfies Experiential Learning Requirement. The Clinic provides free legal information andassistance to low-income workers with employmentrelated issues. Legal Aid at Work (and a rotating series of volunteer employment lawyers) trains and supervises students to conduct client interviews and, after consultation with clinic coordinators, provide counseling, legal information, and referrals to low-income workers on a full range of employment-related problems. The Clinic operates two evenings per week; pandemic precautions permitting, one evening involves phone interviews and one face-to -face client interviews (in the UC Hastings Dining Commons). In addition to client interviewing, advice and referral, students may provide limited follow-up including drafting letters and administrative complaints or representing workers at administrative hearings under the supervision of attorneys from Legal Aid at Work.
