The Jacobs Public Interest Law Clinic for Democracy and the Environment is accepting applications now through October 18 for Spring 2027 semester enrollment. No Certified Legal Intern or other Florida bar approval is needed to enroll.

This on-campus clinic works to halt environmental harm and injustice through litigation, democratic participatory processes, and broader advocacy. Clinic assignments involve litigation drafting and research, policy research, white papers and policy positions, and model legislation.

Students will have the opportunity to hone their oral advocacy skills by presenting to clients, assisting in interviewing and counseling, and presenting at conferences. Students may develop and maintain client relationships while enrolled and beyond graduation.
