The First Amendment Clinic at the University of Nebraska College of Law supports First Amendment rights by focusing on local and regional cases concerning freedoms of speech, the press, assembly, and petition. We strive to serve individuals and organizations from across the political spectrum, including defense of unpopular speech. We aim to enhance law students' understanding of the First Amendment and serve as a resource for organizations, students, journalists, and citizens defending First Amendment rights.
