Mission Statement
It is the mission of College Legal Clinic, Inc. to provide students and low-income members of the public with an affordable means of obtaining quality legal services. College Legal Clinic, Inc. is a non-profit organization, which is run solely by student interns. It addresses all legal matters and is efficiently structured to provide students with immediate legal assistance.

College Legal Clinic, Inc. is the oldest college-based program in California that is State Bar certified as a lawyer referral service. In an effort to provide highly effective legal services, College Legal Clinic Inc. pre-screens all potential attorneys in order to determine their eligibility to participate in the organization. The Board of Trustees, which consists of professors, lawyers, judges, and community leaders, helps to oversee and maintain the quality of this professional legal service.

History
College Legal Clinic Inc. was founded in 1971 by a group of students and faculty at California State University, Fullerton. Its primary objective was to secure the release of jailed student protestors. In 1973, it officially became certified by the California State Bar Association. Now, thirty-five years after its beginning, College Legal Clinic Inc. has three offices and serves thousands of students. The organization's panel of over fifty attorneys donates time for free weekly consultations at these offices. In addition, some of the attorneys have agreed to reduce their fees for qualified students in need of legal services.

Attorney Info & Services
Consultations are held once a week for two hours in each of its offices. Clients are given a fifteen minute consultation with a practicing attorney. Consultations are free for students enrolled at member schools. Non-students can purchase a one-year College Legal Clinic Inc. membership for $25; this membership permits them to use the consultation service as frequently as they desire during the one-year period.

Consultations
Students receive the names of several attorneys who are members of the College Legal Clinic Inc. panel. Interns carefully match up students to attorneys with the appropriate legal specialties. Students contact these attorneys on their own and make independent arrangements to meet with the attorney. A number of College Legal Clinic Inc. attorneys take cases on a sliding scale or pro bono basis if the client is able to demonstrate financial need.
