About Us

Clinical education at Northwestern dates back to 1910 when Dean John Henry Wigmore developed an innovative program with the Chicago Legal Aid Society that evolved into the Bluhm Legal Clinic. The clinic opened its doors in 1969 with only two staff attorneys and 12 students. Today, more than 30 clinical professors combine classroom instruction with hands-on experience for more than 200 students who take clinical courses each year.
