Penn State Law’s Center for Agricultural and Shale Law, teaches a clinic course for law students called the Rural Economic Development Clinic. For students enrolled, they get experience doing legal work for actual clients, under the supervision of the center’s attorneys.

For the 2021 fall semester, the center is soliciting two categories of potential clients who wish to be served, at no cost, by the Rural Economic Development Clinic.

Acceptance of clients for the clinic’s work is always subject to the center’s discretion, case load and capacity at any given time.

Right now, the center wishes to hear from potential clients who need legal services in the following two areas:

• Review of Options to Lease and/or Lease Agreements for photovoltaic electrical generation (i.e. utility-scale solar leases); and

• Preparation of Acknowledgment Agreements under Pennsylvania’s new Agritourism Activity Protection Act (commonly referred to as “waivers” of liability).

If you wish to apply to be served by the clinic in October and November 2021, apply as soon as possible at https://aglaw.psu.edu/legal-clinic/ by filling out the client application.
