Elon University School of Law has opened a Clinical Law Center to support free legal services provided by law school students.

The Clinical Law Center provides a facility for Elon Law students, under the supervision of law faculty and attorneys, to work with clients of limited means referred by non-profit organizations and government agencies in the greater-Greensboro region. The center is adjacent to Elon Law’s downtown Greensboro, N.C., campus.

The Center will house the law school’s Wills Clinic and its Juvenile Justice Intervention and Mediation Clinic. The Wills Clinic provides wills drafting services to low-income clients referred by Habitat for Humanity of Greater Greensboro. The Juvenile Justice Clinic offers victim-offender mediation in juvenile cases referred by Guilford County Schools and other regional government institutions.

George R. Johnson Jr., dean of the law school, said the new facility is a significant step forward in the school’s ability to address legal needs in the community and to educate students through practical learning experiences.

“The Clinical Law Center will help law students to apply concepts they learn in the classroom to specific client circumstances and to cultivate a sense of responsibility to serve and to become leaders in addressing the needs of their communities,” Johnson said.
