The Community Law Clinic provides corporate, transactional, and intellectual property attorney services to New Jersey nonprofit corporations, start-up for-profit businesses, and Charter Schools. The Clinic's primary focus is on businesses and organizations that provide services to and opportunities for the poor and low income people in the City of Newark and nearby urban areas. The Clinic provides initial corporate organizational work (drafting corporate documents, certificates of incorporation or formation, by-laws, operating agreements and organizational minutes), non-profit status filings, charity registration, Charter School formation, real estate transactions, intellectual property and entertainment law advice and assistance for these business entities. 

In addition, the Clinic recently formed a relationship with the Enterprise Development Center of the New Jersey Institute of Technology (EDC). The EDC is a technology-oriented, small business incubator that provides technical assistance, managerial counseling and access to capital, as well as the opportunity to reduce expenses by sharing services and facilities. Students provide transnational and intellectual property legal assistance to eligible EDC companies including: business formations, incorporations, and structuring; contract drafting and review; loan closings; equipment and facilities lease drafting and review; intellectual property audits and licensing; copyright, trademark, trade secret and patent assistance; bankruptcy counseling; confidentiality agreements; preparation and revision of employee manuals; non-compete and non-disclosure agreements; board of directors and board of trustee guidance; and joint venture agreements. 

Furthermore, the Clinic strives to make a contribution to the cause of social change and social justice by representing resident groups and community development corporations (CDCs) regarding urban redevelopment planning.
