PRACTICE WITH PURPOSE

YOUR CLINIC WORK IS CHALLENGING, but very rewarding because you care about the work and it engages you.  You and your colleagues take the idea of helping people seriously.  You care about the people you work with, you care about what happens in your cases and matters, and your work makes a difference!

Fordham Law has fostered those feelings from the first day, and the clinic is building on that sense of purpose and community.  You are practicing in an atmosphere attentive to ethics and professionalism, where everyone cares about justice and respects each other enough to appreciate that a diversity of views and ideas strengthens community and and helps every individual realize their best self.

No matter which of our law clinics you choose, what you learn substantively about a particular area of the law will be secondary to your immersion in the best traditions of our legal culture and your emergence as a more rigorous legal thinker, a skilled craftsperson, and a caring, responsible professional.  In short, you will be a Fordham lawyer, a complete lawyer.
