Commitment to Service

Woman in courtroom

At the core of Gonzaga Law’s mission lies a Jesuit commitment of service to others.

After your first year, students can be face-to-face with real clients who could not otherwise afford service.

As part of your training, you will need 30-hours of public-service  to ensure you have real hands on training you need. You will represent clients at all levels of the dispute-resolution process, and will be responsible (under supervision) for case decisions and attorney-client collaboration. If the case reaches the litigation phase, the intern handles all aspects of the pre-trial and trial preparation, as well as the trial itself. This program is modeled after a general-practice law firm. Managed by faculty members, our legal clinics give students the opportunity to apply academics to a variety of clinical opportunities.
