Natural Resources Clinic

Led by Professor Michael Soules, Colorado Law's Natural Resources Clinic is one of the nation’s first, opening in 1978.  Originally, Clinic students worked in conjunction with staff attorneys at the National Wildlife Federation on environmental issues such as protecting federal public lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service.  In Spring 2010, the Clinic moved in-house to the Law School.  It continues to focus on issues related to public lands, and students work on projects before administrative agencies, state and federal courts, and state  legislatures.

American Indian Law Clinic

The American Indian Law Clinic, established in 1992 as one of the first of its kind, provides quality legal representation to low-income clients with specific Indian law related problems. Many in the Denver region have limited access to legal assistance and that access is further restricted when the issue involves Indian law.  They have nowhere to turn when certain rights, some guaranteed by treaty, are denied.  The Clinic’s student attorneys provide hundreds of hours of pro bono legal work to assist these people with direct legal assistance when possible, or by acting as a referral source when unable to help directly.
