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.
Criminal
Division
The Criminal
Division defends the constitutional
rights of indigent adults charged with
misdemeanors and juveniles charged with
delinquent acts in D.C. Superior Court.
