Ad Hoc Contract Legal Services

The Lewis & Clark Ad Hoc Contract Legal Service Program is a free service that connects busy attorneys with Lewis & Clark law students and alumni willing to take short-term projects and assignments.  Typical requests include help with legal research and writing, reviewing discovery, or trial preparation.

 

Career Services maintains a list of students and alumni (updated monthly) willing to take short-term projects and assignments.  When employers submit project descriptions, we contact students and alumni on the list.  Those interested in the project contact our office, and we provide the employer’s contact information.  Employers may interview those who respond, choose whom to hire, and negotiating wages and hours with the students or alumni.
