Clinic Review

Welcome to Clinic Review! The aim of these posts is to pass on to 2l's and 1l's information about the clinics and concentrations by being a vehicle for current and former students to post anonymous testimonials, information or evaluations of these classes.

Because of the overall awesomeness of our clinical offerings, a lot of 1Ls and 2Ls are fired up about their clinic choices because they love the subject matter. However, may people end up unprepared for the disparity between the available cases and what they thought they'd be doing, the emotional toll of the work or disorganization of supervision, and other factors that contribute significantly to the "experience" of clinic but aren't captured in the course catalog.

Each clinic and concentration will have its own post and we hope current and former students will share their experiences (both praise and critiques) and that future students will ask questions.

Disclaimer: We think its fairly well accepted that CUNY's clinical program is unparalleled and is staffed with very talented practitioners. The purpose of this post is not to discourage people from taking a particular clinic or to encourage a bashing of the clinics or professors, but rather to prepare potential students for the realities of clinical experiences and allow them to make fully informed decisions as to which clinic to take.

also, when posting, don't forget about confidentiality!
