Not-For-Profit Clinic

Not-For-Profit Clinic - LAWN851

3 Credits

Students assist community groups interested in creating and operating their organizations. Students advise clients on the most appropriate form of organization to accomplish the group’s goals and how to create the most appropriate organizational structure. Clinic students provide ongoing legal services to local groups, charities, and other tax-exempt institutions. These matters may involve compliance with federal, state, and local laws, government filings, legal issues of fundraising, application for tax exempt status, advice on board and volunteer liability, restrictions on lobbying, and the creation of corporate structure and by-laws. Part time and flex students have priority enrollment in this clinic. This clinic is fully remote for both seminar and case work but students may use the clinic offices and meet with clients in person if desired.
