***The University Legal Clinic is no longer accepting Volunteer Paralegal Applications***
Volunteer paralegals at the University Legal Clinic (ULC) perform a variety of tasks. These tasks include: interviewing students, determining service needs with the staff attorney, corresponding with opposing parties, contacting relevant authorities, conducting legal research, and developing legal analysis with the staff attorney. Each paralegal regularly contacts students, the public, local and state authorities, and the staff attorney in the process of helping students assist themselves with their legal issues.
