The Michigan State University College of Law is home to eight law clinics, each specializing in a public service area of the law that provides professional legal counsel to the most vulnerable people in society.

Each clinic is directed by licensed attorneys who are members of the MSU Law faculty and staffed by law students who gain critical hands-on research and litigation experience. The clinics provide pro bono legal services and have won important cases for clients across the country.

MSU Law clinics cover the following areas of the law: immigration, family and juvenile law, housing, small business, public defense, Indian law, tax law, and First Amendment.

In this Law Clinic Podcast series, MSU Today explores how the clinics have won life-changing cases for clients and have given students valuable experience to help launch successful legal careers.

For today’s episode, we talk with Joseph Kozakiewicz, director of the Chance at Childhood Clinic, as April is National Child Abuse Prevention Month.
