The Unemployment Action Center (UAC) in New York offers law students valuable litigation experience by providing free legal representation for claimants seeking unemployment benefits. Advocates, primarily first- and second-year law students, represent clients in adversarial hearings before administration law judges at the Department of Labor.
At UAC, students gain practical legal experience through direct examinations, cross examinations, and closing arguments on behalf of their clients. This unique opportunity allows students to defend real clients in need of representation and contribute to the community by providing essential legal services.
