To be eligible to enroll in clinics, ​you must be in good academic standing, have no Honor Code violations and have completed ​your first year courses (some clinics require the completion of 45 units). ​Our clinics expose students to actual client work. In order to enroll in a Fall or Spring clinic, you must have completed or be concurrently enrolled in Professional Responsibility. Students who have not completed Professional Responsibility will be automatically enrolled in a section when admitted to a Fall or Spring clinic. There are limited waivers of this requirement, but only if a student worked full-time in a law firm or other position requiring the handling of confidential information for one year or more before attending law school. Regarding summer clinics, Professional Responsibility is preferred but not required. In lieu of the Professional Responsibility requirement, the Summer Clinic will include an intensive training on ethics. Each clinic may have its own unique eligibility requirements.

• In order to provide all of our students with a clinical opportunity, you cannot enroll in more than one clinic in any one semester.
• You may not enroll in an externship and a clinic in the same semester unless authorized by the Associate Dean for Experiential Education.
• If you plan to be employed by a law firm, government agency, or other unit engaged in providing legal assistance during the semester, you must disclose the employer’s information so the clinical program can determine if there are any conflicts that prevent the student from enrolling in the clinic.

• Each clinic may have its own unique enrollment guidelines.

Since clinics operate differently than doctrinal, writing, and other simulation courses, students must keep in mind the following before enrolling:

• All clinical courses meet in the Clinical Program Office located in the Star-Telegram Building at 307 W. 7th Street, Fort Worth, Texas. It is a 0.6 mile walk from the Law School building to the clinical space.


• Accommodations in the Experiential Program:  If you need accommodations at the Star Telegram Building, please see our website at https://law.tamu.edu/current-students/student-affairs/accommodations. In addition, our Student Affairs Office handles the process for all accommodations. Those requests can be sent to law-disability@law.tamu.edu.


• All 3 and 4 unit clinic courses require that students spend a minimum of 6-8 hours per week at the clinical space.


• Dropping Clinics: Given the unique nature of clinics and the ethical obligations that arise for our attorneys when they expose students to actual client cases, students will not be allowed to drop a clinic after the first week of classes.


• Per our Academic Standards, students are expected to submit logs of their time to their supervising attorneys to receive credit. Your instructor will provide you with direction of how to keep track of your time.


• In order to provide all of our students with a clinical opportunity, you cannot enroll in more than one clinic in any one semester.

• If you plan to be employed by a law firm, government agency, or other unit engaged in providing legal services during the semester, you must disclose the employer’s information so the clinical program can determine if there are any conflicts that prevent the student from enrolling in the clinic.


• Once a student is admitted to a clinic, the student must commit to attend a mandatory Clinical Skills Training the first Friday of the semester from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.


• Unless a special accommodation is necessary, free student parking is not available in the clinic space. The cost to valet in the Star-Telegram Building is $10. There is additional parking in the area that ranges from $6 to $10. Street metered parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
