Get Experience through Regent Law School Clinics
Regent University School of Law cultivates practice-ready graduates with strong legal skills, hands-on experience, and a network of professional relationships. Through clinics, simulations, internships, and externships, students are given the opportunity to work with real clients to resolve legal challenges that contribute to the development of legal scholarship and policy.
Center for Global Justice®
The Center for Global Justice® at Regent University School of Law equips Christian advocates to uphold the rule of law and seek justice for the world’s most vulnerable—the poor, the oppressed, and the enslaved. Through internships, legal research, and practical casework, students contribute to the fight against human trafficking, religious persecution, and other human rights abuses. In the Center’s Human Trafficking Clinic, students assist victims in clearing criminal records for offenses they were coerced into committing by their traffickers. From drafting legislation to supporting frontline advocacy, students partner with prosecutors, NGOs, and lawmakers to advance justice both locally and globally.
Robertson Center for Constitutional Law
At the Robertson Center for Constitutional Law, passionate students and seasoned faculty work together to promote religious liberty, preserve freedom of speech, and advance a constitutional vision grounded in original meaning and the rule of law. Together, they engage in scholarship, public discourse, and legal advocacy to uphold the Constitution’s enduring principles. This work includes filing amicus briefs in significant cases before federal appellate courts and the U.S. Supreme Court. Students contribute through legal research, writing, and engagement with leading constitutional thinkers—preparing them to protect liberty, pursue justice, and preserve our constitutional tradition.
American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ)
The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) is one of our nation’s most influential public interest law firms. Headed by Chief Counsel Dr. Jay Sekulow, the ACLJ operates on the Regent campus, providing law students with unparalleled opportunities to participate in current religious and civil liberties cases. Law students also have the opportunity to enroll in elective courses taught by Dr. Sekulow, and other ACLJ attorneys also teach as part of the constitutional law course curriculum.
The ACLJ has an office on the fourth floor of our law school. They hire our students to work for pay or you can earn credit through our externship program.
Center for Professional Formation
The Center for Professional Formation is committed to developing students’ professional identities. The center’s goal is to produce lawyers who have an understanding of the nature and purpose of the legal profession and are committed to the ethical practice of law. To that end, the center has developed the Mentor Program to facilitate the ethical Christian character formation of Regent Law students. Our mentors represent a variety of practice and geographical legal communities around the country, but each seeks to support and encourage the center’s mission of fostering our students’ professional identity formation.
