In spring of 1996, students launched a Homeless Project in which they work with the local shelter representing homeless people in Fair Hearings to obtain housing. Students are also developing volunteer projects to assist disabled veterans, senior citizens and small businesses. Students in the volunteer projects are trained in client interviewing, counseling and in case preparation under the supervision of volunteer faculty members and clinical staff attorneys. The Mediation Assistance Program operated by the Government Law Center is a volunteer project in which law students mediate housing disputes. After extensive mediation training students are supervised by professional staff and mediate disputes in teams of two.
Students can take additional training and become certified mediators.
