John Jay Legal Services, Inc

Pace's John Jay Legal Services currently offers client representation clinical experience in four different areas: criminal trial advocacy, disability rights litigation and transactional representation; immigration and immigrants' rights; and investor rights/securities arbitration's. The central purpose of a client representation clinical program is to help students make the transition from doing what students do to doing what lawyers do, and to make this transition in a thoughtful, purposeful manner. The key is that the student is the lawyer—not the assistant, not the researcher, but the lawyer.
