EDUCATION AND YOUTH JUSTICE CLINIC | TOURO LAW CENTER
Legal services provided by law students for youth involved in the Suffolk County juvenile and criminal justice systems. Clinic students also provide educational advocacy to justice-involved young people in matters such as school suspension and expulsion hearings, special education proceedings and impartial hearings. They also represent those young people in delinquency and adolescent offender cases. Representation is provided by upper-level law students, working under the close supervision of experienced lawyers who are clinical professors. There is no charge for clinic representation. However, the clinics have limited resources and cannot take every case, no matter how deserving. Clinic staff members meet with potential clients by appointment only. Please do not visit the Law Center unless you have first contacted the Office of Clinical Programs at 631-761-7080 to see if you are eligible.

TOURO LAW CENTER
Offers a curriculum that focuses on learning doctrine and lawyering skills. Touro is adjacent to a state courthouse and a federal courthouse, providing wonderful synergies for teaching and learning. The work of the federal and state courts is integrated into the daily law school experience and students are in the courtroom from virtually their first week of school. Students gain doctrinal knowledge and develop skills, professional values, and early practice opportunities through simulated and real lawyering experiences in our classrooms, clinics, and field placements. Students have the opportunity to provide legal services to our neighbors through the following clinics: Advanced Bankruptcy Clinic; Bankruptcy and Mortgage Foreclosure Clinic; Child Support Mediation Clinic; Community Law Services Clinic; Criminal Defense Post Conviction Clinic; Criminal Prosecution Clinic; Education and Youth Justice Clinic; Immigration Law Clinic; Landlord-Tenant Mediation Clinic; Senior Citizens Law Project; Small Business and Not-for-Profit Law Clinic and Veterans' and Servicemembers' Right Clinic.
