The Fair Housing Legal Support Center & Clinic provides degree candidates the opportunity to work with clients who have complaints of housing and lending discrimination. Students develop skills and values dealing with negotiation and administrative action at the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD); state, county, and municipal agencies; or the state or federal court. Students are trained by professors and Clinic staff in a law-firm setting on case management and lawyering skills with direct one-on-one teaching and supervision.
