Find out if you are eligible for Clio’s Academic Access Program

The Academic Access Program is designed to support faculty and administrators in teaching students valuable business and management skills to support their future legal careers. To be eligible for the Clio Academic Access Program, you must be a student or a faculty member active in one of the following environments:

  • Legal Clinics

    Give students hands-on experience managing the daily tasks of running a law firm by having them do so with Clio at a clinic. Students will gain technical experience in matter management, timekeeping, and cloud-based document storage before entering the competitive field of law.

  • Law School and Paralegal Studies

    Students using practice management software have a competitive advantage when applying to law firms upon graduation. Clio can support your students by providing a practical component to your classroom’s legal scenarios. You can customize your Clio account to simulate a specific practice area or use Clio’s product certification program to assist your curriculum.

  • Individual Students

    In addition to faculty members, students may also request their own free, full-featured Clio demo account. Use Clio to manage your course schedule, track time during your externship program, or simply explore the endless opportunities of cloud-based management software. There’s a good chance that the law firm you end up applying to is currently using or evaluating Clio.
