This academic year, the law school is launching two new legal clinics. Students will collaborate with professionals across disciplines, engage in real-world legal challenges, and make a meaningful impact in across New Jersey.
Clinics
The Rutgers Law School nationally ranked Clinical Program in Camden is receiving a $100,000 funding boost from the state of New Jersey.
The Intellectual Property Law Clinic held its annual award ceremony, recognizing two graduating students for their outstanding work in IP law: 3L Caroline Kim and 4LE Jing Kong.
I was fortunate to be selected for the U.S.-Mexico Border Trip facilitated and funded by the Immigrant Rights Clinic each year. The trip provides law students with the unique opportunity to directly aid in addressing the legal barriers faced by migrants at the border through collaboration with a local non-profit organization and under the direct supervision of experienced Clinic staff.
Students from the Legislative and Policy Advocacy Clinic in Camden created a step-by-step guide to break down the 10-step name change process in New Jersey. Taking it a step further, the students also developed a user-friendly website to make this valuable resource easily accessible to the public.
Two attorneys from the Rutgers Laws Housing Justice and Tenant Solidarity Clinic will receive Equal Justice Medals from Legal Services of New Jersey for their impactful handling of cases and their dedicated mentorship of clinic law students.
