Law Schools
The Role of Law Schools in Service Delivery
There are 200 ABA-approved law schools across the United States. As part of the law school training and curriculum, the majority of law schools run legal clinics where students represent real clients with the help of instructors and learn the nuts and bolts of legal practice. Law school clinics help to meet a small portion of client and community legal needs, while also sparking passion and commitment for serving vulnerable populations that informs many practicing lawyers throughout their careers.

I think this shows that we’re paying attention to the entire patient. We’re not just taking care of cancer with chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. We’re addressing everything else that goes into the treatment of the individual.
