Finally, students may wish to enroll in courses that teach the lawyering skills most useful in practicing in their area of interest. This could include involvement in a clinical law program, which provides an opportunity to engage in the real practice of law, and get firsthand experience of the ways in which public agencies perform their functions and influence the lives of their clients. Suffolk Law offers a wide range of clinics in fields such as housing law, immigration law, and juvenile justice. A complete list of clinics is available here.
