In keeping with the foundation's mission of advancing the profession of law through public service, the new funding provided will support 14 clinics across the three law school locations.

"Clinics give law students practical experience in providing legal aid in the areas of public service, social justice, gender justice, family law, mediation, entrepreneurship and more," said Charlie Stoia, president of the New Jersey State Bar Foundation. "We are thrilled to provide funding to help prepare students for the practice of law."
