Clinic on Entrepreneurship
“Launched in 1997, the clinic is a partnership between its libertarian parent organization, the Washington-based Institute for Justice, and the University of Chicago law school. Its primary function is to help make the American dream come true for Chicago-area small-business owners, using a staff that consists mainly of University of Chicago law students. The clinic provides advice and helps eliminate regulatory red tape so its clients can get their businesses started or keep them afloat.”
