In the Housing Clinic, students can select one from among three tracks: foreclosures, evictions, or fair housing. Each track meets separately, and the full clinic meets weekly to discuss general policy issues, including the role discrimination has played in the government's and industry's treatment of homeowners and renters; ethics; and skills-training sessions. Students attend several sessions of the court handling cases in their respective tracks including, for foreclosures, the Clinic's Attorney for a Day Program. Fair housing case-scheduling may also involve additional legislative and policy projects, as this student team monitors whether the federal government's enforcement of fair housing programs has changed since the recent election. In addition to defending their clients' homes, all three tracks will handle cases seeking affirmative relief. Student teams also will tackle legislative remedies arising from the clinic's clients' cases.

“

I chose to attend Yale Law School because I wanted to direct my own education. Twenty-five years later, freedom and flexibility are still the best things about this place. As a YLS student, you get to decide what you want to study. ”
