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.

Famous quotes containing the words thomas and/or legal:
“With wonderful art he grinds into paint for his picture all his moods and experiences, so that all his forces may be brought to the encounter. Apparently writing without a particular design or responsibility, setting down his soliloquies from time to time, taking advantage of all his humors, when at length the hour comes to declare himself, he puts down in plain English, without quotation marks, what he, Thomas Carlyle, is ready to defend in the face of the world.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I have spent all my life under a Communist regime, and I will tell you that a society without any objective legal scale is a terrible one indeed. But a society with no other scale but the legal one is not quite worthy of man either.”
—Alexander Solzhenitsyn (b. 1918)
