Welcome to Our Courses!

No more snoozy lectures and interminable panel discussions! The Center for Legal Aid Education participants learn by doing. Whether arguing a motion, writing a brief, or counseling a client, CLAE students don't just acquire knowledge - they develop hard skills they can put to use right away.

CLAE constructs opportunities for legal aid advocates to collaborate, build community, and share their values and vision with each other. Education can transform and inspire advocates to seek better outcomes, better solutions, greater justice for all.
