Thank you for your interest in the UCI Intellectual Property, Arts, and Technology Clinic. The Clinic is currently accepting inquiries from potential clients.
Please be advised that by accepting inquiries, the Clinic is not expressing an opinion on the merits of your case or potential case, or the likelihood of working with you in the future. You should not refrain from seeking legal assistance from another firm, attorney, or clinic based on the Clinic’s decision not to accept applications at the current time.
Please understand that due to the volume of applications, we may not be able to respond to your inquiry. You should be aware that the passage of time is always an important consideration in any legal matter. Because any delay can be harmful to your case, we recommend that you contact another firm or lawyer for assistance if you do not hear from us immediately.
