Legal Assistance
OU Law students, faculty and staff serve the local community through the Legal Clinic. The clinic provides pro bono services for economically eligible clients in Cleveland and McClain counties in both civil and criminal issues. The clinic can only take on a limited number of cases, and new cases are only added at specific times of the year. Contact the Legal Clinic at (405) 325-3702 for additional information.
Because the clinic cannot represent all persons needing legal assistance, other resources may be open to you.
