The Hugh and Hazel Darling Foundation Religious Liberty Clinic
Our Work
The Religious Liberty Clinic is designed to provide students with practical, firsthand experience as well as support the provision of high-quality legal services to clients in religious liberties litigation. Working in pairs, students participate in amicus briefs, appeals, and advocacy to advance religious liberty.
Student Experience
Students in the clinic will attend a seminar-style class that will explore enduring questions relating to how civil governments treat the religious beliefs, expressions, and institutions of their citizens. The clinic is led by visiting professor Eric Rassbach, vice president and senior counsel at the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, and the course will be co-taught by Professor Rassbach, Professor Daniel Chen, counsel at the Becket Fund and Caruso Law Professor Michael Helfand. Students will also work under the supervision of Jones Day attorneys.
Interested 2L and 3L students can apply to the clinic by sending the following to Linn Griffin (linn.griffin@pepperdine.edu): (1) resume and (2) short statement explaining interest in the clinic.
