Experiential Learning

The University of Washington School of Law guarantees that all J.D. students can have at least one live-client learning experience through our clinics or an externship.

At UW Law, students not only learn the law, but also how to put law into action. Through clinics and externships, skills courses and pro bono opportunities, students gain hands-on experience that draws connections between theory and practice. Students learn from exceptional faculty and practitioners and are prepared to bring their practical experience to their future careers.
