Description of Services

The Civil Rights Clinic is a yearlong clinic that offers income-qualified clients legal assistance with civil rights litigation and record expungement. Students participate in weekly seminars that address substantive and procedural law issues, then experience hands-on training in case intake and interviewing, client counseling, fact investigation, case analysis, mediation, negotiation, research, and drafting of complaints and documents.

In a partnership with the Urban League of Pittsburgh, Civil Rights Clinic students also attend a monthly “Pardon Clinic” and teach participants about Pennsylvania expungement law and the pardon process.
