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.

“A process in the weather of the world
Turns ghost to ghost; each mothered child
Sits in their double shade.
A process blows the moon into the sun,
Pulls down the shabby curtains of the skin;
And the heart gives up its dead.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“Courage, then, for the end draws near! A few more years of persistent, faithful work and the women of the United States will be recognized as the legal equals of men.”
—Mary A. Livermore (1821–1905)
