Washburn Law School is deeply committed to clinical education both philosophically and financially and thereby provides the highest level of legal training available. The Law Clinic, housed in a modern two-story building attached to the law school, is designed as a model law office. On the upper level are the reception area, offices for client interviews, mediation, and consultation, the Clinic library, and a staff area for word processing. Faculty offices, class, and conference rooms are on the lower level. The space is exceptionally well-designed to meet and integrate legal practice and educational goals.
Students have all the modern resources at their fingertips.
The support staff are among the most skilled legal secretaries in the area and each has spent years working in the program. In addition to their clinical responsibilities they also teach Evidence, Family Law, Professional Responsibility, Criminal Law, Criminal Procedure, Alternative Dispute Resolution, and Negotiations. Likewise the larger Washburn Law Faculty provides expertise and consultation to the Clinic. The Clinic faculty are nationally and internationally known in the field and serve in leadership positions in the major national clinical education associations. This activity has led to the incorporation of cutting edge issues in clinical education into the classroom and practicum components of the Clinic.
