Rutgers Law School’s clinics in Camden and Newark have a long-standing reputation for excellence. This year, the program is set to advance further with the appointment of two new associate deans for clinical education: Sandra Simkins in Camden and Randi Mandelbaum in Newark.

The first cohort of students have completed the Minority Student Program (MSP) Pre-Law Summer Academy and celebrated with a graduation on July 27. With support from Ballard Spahr LLP, its chief diversity, equity, and inclusion officer, Virginia Essandoh, and the Law School Admission Council, the Pre-Law Academy offered eight weeks of LSAT preparation through 7Sage along with two proctored practice tests. However, the Academy’s support extended well beyond test preparation.

After four years of hard-fought litigation, Rutgers Law Associates (RLA) recently won a jury trial on behalf of an eighty-year-old client who had been deceived into signing over his home’s deed.
