The Criminal Defense Clinic focuses on the representation of indigent and low-income clients charged with criminal offenses, both misdemeanor and felony cases, in Orange and Osceola County. The Clinic’s goal is to make the student-attorney competent and prepared to represent a criminal defendant from arrest to the resolution of his/her case, and all things in-between. Students will realize in this Clinic that working with poor people accused or convicted of crime is often exhilarating, sometimes grueling, and never boring. For some, it is life changing.
