First Amendment Clinic accepting applications for Summer 2025!

The First Amendment Clinic is accepting applications for the Summer 2025 semester!  Are you looking to gain experience representing clients as a student attorney?  Consider applying to the First Amendment Clinic!

The First Amendment Clinic gives students experience in many aspects of a First Amendment and media law practice.  The clinic’s workload differs every semester due to the wide range of matters the clinic takes on.  Students have defended libel and invasion-of-privacy suits, assisted in First Amendment-based civil rights claims, argued to unseal court records, fought to make state and federal government agencies release documents, and so much more! 

Student attorneys are certified to practice in the clinic by the Arizona Supreme Court. Clinic students will be involved in all aspects of a legal practice, particularly emphasizing interviewing and counseling clients, drafting and filing legal briefs, pleadings and motions, and representing clients in court.

Students have the option to enroll in four, five, or six credits.  Two credits will be given for the graded seminar portion, and either two, three, or four credits will be pass/fail for the client component.
