Thomas and Mack Legal Clinic
The Thomas & Mack Legal Clinic is an interdisciplinary law office in which specially licensed law students work with graduate level education and psychology students under the supervision of law faculty, to represent and advocate for child and adult clients in a variety of legal matters including child welfare, family justice, appellate, innocence, education advocacy, juvenile justice and immigration.
The Thomas & Mack Legal Clinic operates on an attorney-centered model in which education and psychology students and faculty are part of the legal team. Students work collaboratively with faculty and students from other clinics to help identify and address their clients’ problems holistically and appropriately. Law students are expected to take the lead in all aspects of client representation, including primary responsibility for developing and maintaining the attorney-client relationship, formulating case strategy, and conducting fact investigation, legal research, and trial work.
A mediation clinic in conjunction with the Saltman Center for Dispute Resolution opened in Spring 2009.

“Grief with drenched book and candle christens the cherub time....”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“In the course of the actual attainment of selfish ends—an attainment conditioned in this way by universality—there is formed a system of complete interdependence, wherein the livelihood, happiness, and legal status of one man is interwoven with the livelihood, happiness, and rights of all. On this system, individual happiness, etc. depend, and only in this connected system are they actualized and secured.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
