Experiential Learning Opportunities

 

Federal Tax Clinic

Dedman Law’s commitment to tax specialization extends beyond the classroom. Since 1977, the Tax Clinic, has offered representation to low-income taxpayers who have federal income tax disputes with the Internal Revenue Service. These taxpayers cannot afford representation and rely on the clinic to effectively argue their case before the United States Tax Court.

The clinic is operated by law students who are trained in tax law to offer services like protest letters, settlement negotiations, and installment agreements, all while keeping costs as low as possible for the client.
 

Small Business Clinic

Since 2005, The Small Business Clinic has been providing free legal services to small businesses and non-profit organizations that couldn’t afford legal fees.
