ABOUT BC LEGAL SERVICE LAB

In 1960, Boston College Law students began providing free legal services and the law school has continued that commitment to social justice and service to the community to this day.  Today, Boston College Law School boasts fourteen clinics specializing in a different area of law. All these clinics are dedicated to teaching law students and providing high-quality legal services to clients.

Our clinics includes the Housing Justice Clinic, the Community Enterprise Clinic, Immigration Clinic, Boston College Innocence Program, the Youth & Family Rights Clinic, the BC Defenders, the Civil Rights Clinic, the International Human Rights Clinic, the Compassionate Release and Parole Clinic, the Entrepreneurship & Innovation Clinic, Project Entrepreneur, the Prosecution Clinic.

In our clinics, law students provide free legal services to low-income individuals and families under the direction of a supervising attorney.  We are joined in this important work by graduate level social work students who work as part of the legal team under the supervision of a licensed social worker.

Most of our clinics receive intake from community partners and courts; however, several clinics accept requests for intake from the public.
