TRINITY LAW CLINIC

This clinic is located on the grounds of the Orange County Rescue Mission, a transitional living facility for homeless individuals and families. Trinity students provide pro bono services to help residents with a variety of legal issues so that they can start their new life with a clean slate.

MOBILE LEGAL CLINIC

As part of our partnership with the Orange County Rescue Mission, we offer opportunities for students to volunteer in our “law office on wheels” that offers walk-up services to all low-income and homeless residents of Orange County.

RELIGIOUS LIBERTY CLINIC

The Orange County office of Pacific Justice Institute, a non-profit organization that provides legal services in religious freedom cases, is located on our campus. Students who serve in the Religious Liberty Clinic at the Pacific Justice Institute benefit from this close partnership by conducting research and writing a wide variety of trial and appellate level documents, including amicus briefs, for current cases.

MEDIATION CLINIC

Our mediation clinic operates in conjunction with the Orange County Superior Court and Orange County Human Relations. Students act as a neutral party to help facilitate resolutions between parties. The prerequisite courses for this clinic qualify you to work as a mediator in various California courts before obtaining your J.D.

J.D. BANKRUPTCY CLINIC

California residents filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy receive legal support from a practicing bankruptcy attorney while students assist with problem solving and preparation.
