About the CLPC

The Community Legal Practice Center (CLPC) represents lower income Rockbridge area residents in a general law practice setting, but with a particular focus on the elderly, victims of domestic violence, and those with pressing family law concerns. The CLPC attempts to assist its clients with the entire range of legal concerns they present, thus exposing students to a wide variety of substantive legal issues in both litigation and drafting settings. Students are responsible for all aspects of their clients' matters, from the initial intake interview until the clients' matters are concluded.

All work is closely supervised by a licensed attorney and member of the School of Law faculty, Professor Beth Belmont. CLPC Administrative offices and student carrels are located in Sydney Lewis Hall, which is the home of the School of Law.
