Clinics and Field Placements
The Fredric G. Levin College of Law Clinics and Field Placements are faculty-supervised, advice, representation, and mediation clinics that integrate the college’s nationally-ranked scholarship with applied lawyering, mediation, and problem-solving skills developed through simulation courses and by providing legal services in the state attorney’s office, public defender’s office, or a fully-operational law clinic.
Students enrolled in our clinics gain real-world legal skills through participation with real clients alongside experienced clinical faculty.

Prosecution Field Placement
Students in the Prosecution Field Placement, supervised by Professor Sarah Wolking, work in the State Attorney’s Office for the Eighth Judicial Circuit prosecuting misdemeanors and felonies.
Wrongful Convictions Clinic Field Placement
Students in our Wrongful Convictions Clinic Field Placement, also supervised by Professor Sarah Wolking, review petitions for factual innocence submitted by those convicted of felonies in the Fourth Judicial Circuit. This clinic is offered in the Fall.

Students in our Public Defender Field Placement zealously advocate on behalf of indigent clients for the Office of the Public Defender for the Eighth Judicial Circuit.
