Public Interest Activities

The centers and programs, clinics, and student organizations of Yale Law School all provide opportunities to engage in wide-ranging and ambitious work in the public interest. 

Centers and Programs

The centers and programs of Yale Law School undertake work spanning health law and policy to public sector leadership, human rights, criminal justice, and much more. 

Clinics

In addition to serving individuals within the New Haven community, the School’s clinics have won three nationwide injunctions in the last few years, and their work regularly makes national headlines. The Jerome N. Frank Legal Services Organization functions as a single law firm that houses 10 clinics providing legal representation to individuals and organizations in need of legal services.

Student Organizations

Almost 45% of students perform public service without pay or credit through a student group. Their activities range from legal research and writing to outreach in the New Haven public schools.
