USC Gould’s oldest and newest clinics are celebrating milestones this year — the Post-Conviction Justice Project (PCJP) marks its 35th anniversary, and the International Human Rights Clinic (IHRC) turns 5 years old.
Since 1981, the PCJP has offered hands-on legal training to nearly 1,000 USC law students, serving clients at parole hearings and in state and federal habeas petitions and appeals challenging violations of constitutional rights.
