D.C.
Law
Students In Court Program, Inc. (LSIC) founded in 1968, is a
consortium program established by five area law schools (American,
Catholic, Georgetown, George Washington and Howard universities). It is
a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization. LSIC
accepts third-year law students from these law schools to help provide
high-quality, civil and criminal legal assistance and representation to
5,000 low-income individuals and families annually in Washington, D.C.
It is one of the oldest and largest clinical education programs in the
country. LSIC plays a critical role in addressing the unmet legal needs
of low-income D.C. residents. LSIC has two divisions: a Civil Division
and a Criminal Division.
Civil Division
Over
80% of the Civil Division’s work concerns landlord-tenant and housing
matters and the remaining work involves small claims actions such as
breach of contract and consumer protection issues, as well as other
civil and appellate cases.
