Description
Support CLIC!
The Community Legal Information Clinic (CLIC) was
started in 1970 and has been providing legal information to students and
community members for 55 years. We are fundraising for CLIC to continue to
facilitate opportunities for students to assist community members with legal
help. CLIC provides clinical experience for students seeking a hands-on involvement in an on-campus legal clinic while providing free legal information
to clients in the North State and beyond. Almost 150 students provide legal
information to approximately 10,000 clients each year.
We want to continue to do this work and need the
help in covering our overhead costs. Office supplies, postage, and legal
material costs are increasing each year. Please support our students and our
North State community by helping CLIC meet its vital mission.
How will donations be used?
If you donated to our cause last year, we appreciate your
