hARRISoN INSTITuTE foR houSING & CommuNITy dEvELoPmENT Students in the Harrison Institute for Housing & Community Development empower lowincome individual and community clients through transactional projects that seek to give those clients ownership and control of housing, businesses, and social services in their communities. These projects include multifamily housing projects where students assist clients in the purchase or conversion of housing into cooperatives or other forms of resident ownership and economic development projects such as contract negotiation, drafting, corporate structuring, and community lending. Clinic students gain a broad vision of what lawyers can do in low-income communities. Students gain valuable organization and transactional skills negotiating with city officials, lenders, vendors, and property owners; helping to develop financial packages; drafting legal documents; and counseling clients about real estate, corporate affairs, and development. In addition, they learn audience-appropriate presentation and communication strategies and skills, all under the close supervision of clinic faculty. 18 www.law.georgetown.edu/clinics/hi/housing.html
hARRISoN INSTITuTE foR PubLIC LAw CliniCs Students in the Harrison Institute for Public <strong>Law</strong> work on what Justice Brandeis called the “laboratories of democracy,” the capacity of state and local governments to be policy innovators. Clinic students work for clients that include legislatures, agencies, and national associations. They analyze law-making authority, present options for policy change, and draft policies based on client choices. Students also work with clients to defend their “policy space” in terms of national preemption or impact of international agreements. The Clinic focuses on health, trade, and climate policies. The health team works to improve access to healthy food, regulate genetic discrimination, and reduce barriers to health care. The trade team provides analytic capacity that state governments need to cope with globalization, promote economic development, and preserve authority to regulate essential services such as energy and health care. The climate team supports the <strong>Georgetown</strong> Climate Center, which works with states to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to urban heat and sea level rise. www.law.georgetown.edu/clinics/hi/policyClinic.htm 19
