Support Law School Legal Clinics
USD School of Law equips students to serve the community by offering hands-on opportunities and demonstrating the impact of dedicated legal service. Through 13 direct client legal clinics, students gain practical experience alongside skilled attorneys, delivering free, high-quality legal representation to those who need it most.
These clinics are one of the cornerstones of USD Law’s commitment to service and experiential learning. During the 2025 calendar year, the Legal Clinics contributed more than $3.4 million in pro bono work to the San Diego community, closed 600+ cases, and trained 145+ law students, all while managing 600-700 active cases.

At the same time, they help rebuild and restore the lives of community members, helping them secure the protections and outcomes they deserve.
Every contribution helps maintain and expand these essential programs, empowering students, strengthening legal clinics, and ensuring justice is available to all—regardless of financial means.
