| Professor Larry Weiser, Law Clinic Director |
The Gonzaga Center for Law and Justice is home to University Legal Assistance (ULA), a not-for-profit clinical law program.
The Clinic is modeled after a general-practice law firm. Managed by faculty members, the Clinic gives students the opportunity to apply academics to legal practice.
The Clinic has received the Charles Goldmark Distinguished Service Award from the Legal Foundation of Washington, and the Emil Grumpier Award for Excellence in the Teaching of Trial Advocacy. It also has been recognized by the American College of Trial Lawyers.
The Clinic addresses several areas of focus, each represented by a mini-Clinic:
- General Practice Law
- Consumer Law
- Federal Tax Law
- Environmental Law
- Indian Law
- Elder Law
- Business Law
