The Social Enterprise & Nonprofit Law Clinic serves social enterprises that are unrepresented given the high cost of legal services; nonprofit organizations and foundations working in a wide range of fields (including health, social services, education, youth development, technology, food safety and security, sustainable agriculture, and civil rights); and select small businesses.
Representation of this client group is consistent with Georgetown University's long tradition of public service. Social enterprises, nonprofit organizations, and small businesses contribute to innovation, economic and job growth, and a strong social safety net. These businesses and organizations are often unrepresented due to the high cost of legal services. The Clinic aims to support and encourage these important groups in Washington, D.C. through the provision of free legal services.
