JOIN IN OUR COMMITMENT TO SERVING COMMUNITIES
At WMU-Cooley, we are committed to nurturing legal scholars who are committing to using their knowledge and experience to serve the broader community.

Legal rights protections mean little if community members lack access to legal services. Our community service clinics give you the opportunity to learn important areas of substantive law while providing essential service to those who need it the most.
Whether in Michigan or Florida, you can put your knowledge to use for the good of your neighbors in the following clinics.
