The UCLA Clinical Program offers extensive and rigorous practical training for students interested in litigation, transactional, regulatory, and public interest work. The law school has a vibrant experiential curriculum, with in-house clinics focused on criminal defense, community lawyering, documentary film, environmental law, immigrants' rights, international human rights, prisoners' rights, tribal legal development, and veterans' justice, among other areas. The Program also offers sophisticated simulation-based skills courses and practicums in areas including civil rights litigation, domestic violence, mediation, and criminal defense.
