REQUEST FOR LEGAL SERVICES

All potential clients (for-profits, nonprofits, and artists) must complete this form. The term "Applicant" refers to the business, organization, entity, or artist requesting legal services. If any question does not apply to you, please enter "N/A" and continue.
The clinic faculty members determine whether the requested services are appropriate for student representation. Priority is given to potential clients who (i) do not have access to discretionary funds for legal advice, (ii) are community-based, assist underserved communities, or are owned or operated by women, minorities, or economically disadvantaged individuals, (iii) have a written business or strategic plan or can otherwise demonstrate the capacity for ongoing operations, (iv)  complement the clinic's educational goals. Please note that we cannot currently accept projects that must be resolved within a short time frame.
The Community Economic Development Clinic generally accepts most new clients each August before the start of the fall semester. A limited number of clients may also be accepted throughout the academic year. 
 
After submitting your application, you can expect to be contacted by a faculty member within approximately three weeks. For any questions, please reach out to Professor Joe McKay at Joseph.J.Mckay@du.edu.
If a field is not applicable, please leave it blank.
