Clinics and Externships
Chase provides students with many opportunities to complete clinics and/or externships before graduation.
Externship opportunities include working with Kentucky Attorney General's Office, City Solicitors' offices, Internal Revenue Service, Legal Aid, National Labor Relations Board, Ohio Justice and Policy Center, and prosecutors' offices, among others.
Clinic opportunities include the Children's Law Center Clinic, Constitutional Litigation Clinic, Indigent Defense Clinic, Kentucky Criminal Justice Clinic, Kentucky Innocence Project, and Local Government Law Clinic.
Chase also opened the Small Business & Nonprofit Law Clinic in the fall of 2010. It was the first clinic of its kind in Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati. The law clinic provides students with unique, practical experience in transactional law, while providing affordable legal services to entrepreneurs, small businesses, and nonprofit entities in the Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati community. Chase law students staff the clinic under the supervision of a full-time clinic director and licensed attorney. Students interact directly with clients to provide legal advice on a wide range of business-law issues including entity formation, intellectual property, and contracts.
