SMU Law Review
Abstract
This paper examines the impetus behind the creation of the SMU Clinic and analyzes how the clinic actually worked in its early years and whether the clinic accomplished its objectives. I wrote this paper during my last semester of law school while participating in the SMU Clinic as a student attorney. While researching this paper, I had the pleasure of speaking with some of the first student attorneys that participated in the SMU Clinic, many of whom went on to practice law for decades afterwards. I greatly enjoyed hearing their perspectives, and love that I was able to similarly provide legal services to members of the Dallas community through my work with the SMU Clinic.
