IJ Clinic on Entrepreneurship
The IJ Clinic is a joint project of the Institute for Justice, the nation's premier public interest advocate for economic liberty, and The University of Chicago Law School, one of the world's leading legal academies. The IJ Clinic teams lower-income entrepreneurs with some of the nation’s brightest law students to provide entry-level business people with the legal support they need to pursue their dreams.
Whether you are a prospective client, a current or prospective student at the University of Chicago Law School, or friend of either the Institute for Justice or the Law School, we encourage you to learn more about the IJ Clinic through this site, our newly revised Chicago City Study, or you can email us at clinic@ij.org.
