LSC: An Introduction for Law Students

Dear HLS Student,

Welcome to the Legal Services Center’s (LSC’s) website!

LSC is a single public interest law firm that is home to six in-house Harvard Law School clinics:

For those who are considering registering for a clinic, we hope you will find the information here helpful to your decision making.  For those who are already registered for an LSC clinic, we hope you will find the information here helpful as you plan ahead for your time with us.

In addition to visiting the webpages of individual clinics, we encourage you to visit LSC’s Clinical Student FAQs page.  There you will find detailed information about what it is like to be an LSC clinical law student–everything from how clinical credits work to our philosophy of clinical teaching, and from how student case dockets are created to our shuttle van schedule.  Reviewing LSC’s Clinical Student FAQs page can be a useful introduction to LSC no matter whether you are a shopping for a clinic or already registered for an LSC clinic.  LSC’s Clinical Student FAQs page also provides contact information should you have any follow-up questions.

Thanks for visiting!  We hope we have the opportunity to work with you in an upcoming semester!
