Service Information
Colorado Laws Clinical Education Program provides free legal services in certain circumstances to Coloradans. Law student attorneys take the lead on clinic cases and are supervised by clinical faculty who are licensed to practice law in Colorado. Each clinic has different guidelines for selecting cases and not all clinics accept calls from individuals who are interested in representation.
Guidelines:
* American Indian Law Clinic assists poor persons only with cases involving issues of federal or tribal law,
* Civil Practice Clinic primarily handles cases in family law and Social Security disability, and only accepts cases that are referred to it by Colorado Legal Services.
* Criminal Defense Clinic limits its representation to misdemeanor and traffic cases in Boulder County, and provides services only to indigent persons.
* Entrepreneurial Law Clinic provides transactional legal services to local entrepreneurs who are trying to start a business in Colorado.
* Juvenile Law Clinic only accepts court-appointed work, and does not take inquiries from the public.
* Technology Law & Policy Clinic works in the public interest to analyze technology law policy issues. The clinic does not represent individuals. However, if you are aware of a technology law policy issue that should be considered by the clinic, please contact Associate Clinical Professor Brad Bernthal.
