Mission Statement
To secure and expand economic liberty in inner-city Chicago, the Institute for Justice Clinic on Entrepreneurship provides legal representation to entrepreneurs, educates and inspires law students through real-world experience, and advocates for greater appreciation of entrepreneurship.
Three key initiatives:
Assistance for Entrepreneurs: To provide high quality legal representation to aspiring entry-level entrepreneurs on transactional matters;
Educating Law Students: To educate, train and inspire law students at the University of Chicago Law School to be advocates of entrepreneurs; and
Advocating Economic Liberty: To advocate for economic liberty and inner-city entrepreneurship as vital forces that hold the power to transform individuals, their families and communities.
Description
The IJ Clinic provides free legal representation for low-income entrepreneurs in Chicago. University of Chicago law students advise our clients under the guidance of IJ Clinic attorneys, so the Clinic is also a training ground for future advocates for entrepreneurs. We also provide free educational resources and legislative advocacy on behalf on Chicago's entrepreneurs.
