YOU might not, but I sure would. Some states might try to dress up the pig more, but around these parts, at least, the clinics have names like "Law Students in Court."
And at least the ones who do criminal law are nonetheless in incredibly high demand, because the defendants know it's better to have the complete attention of a law student than be the 50th case of the day for a public defender. The clinics' win rate in litigation tends to be through the roof.
