Working with clients remotely this fall due to pandemic protocols, CSU Cleveland-Marshall College of Law Civil Litigation Clinic students have faced a set unforeseen obstacles. Undeterred, the students have worked diligently to still provide successful representation in Unemployment Compensation disputes at a time of great need.
“We have faced the same challenges attorneys have faced in their practices and have had to adapt in a similar fashion,” explained Clinical Professor Ken Kowalski. “Our students have adapted pretty well. It would be much nicer for the student to be able to meet with me, their clients and each other in person, but they are doing what needs to be done in order to provide representation to our clients.”
