UDC is proud to share that UDC David A. Clark Law School was ranked No. 5 for clinical training in the 2023 U.S. News & World Report graduate school rankings—tying with Yale University. University Clinics give students hands-on experience with interviewing, counseling and advising clients. Under the leadership of Associate Dean Lindsay Harris, UDC’s clinical law program provides comprehensive legal training for day and evening students. Day students participate in a minimum of two clinics, and evening students engage in an intensive clinical program designed to accommodate their schedules.

Associate Dean of Clinical and Experiential Programs Lindsay M. Harris said, “Students are drawn to UDC Law because of our dual mission to provide legal services those in need and to empower those from marginalized communities to join the legal profession. I am so proud to be a part of that mission and that the excellence of our students, faculty and staff is recognized through this year’s clinical rankings, reflecting our deep commitment to experiential education.”

“I am tremendously proud of the terrific work being done by our clinics to address the justice gap in the country,” Dean Renée McDonald Hutchins said. “Our students graduate as better lawyers and unmet legal needs in the District and beyond are addressed through the incredible hard work and high-quality representation being provided by our clinical faculty and student attorneys.”
