Non-Profit Corporations

Adjunct Professor: Neil McBride

Nonprofit corporations contribute significantly to our quality of life. They also control about 15% of the nation's GNP. Knowing how to represent nonprofit corporations offers attorneys a rewarding opportunity to contribute to their community. Nonprofit clients can be a valuable source of revenue to a commercial practice.

This seminar examines federal and state laws that govern nonprofit corporations and offer practical clinical experience representing local corporations. Under the supervision of an experienced practitioner, teams of students conduct "legal audits" of local nonprofit corporations, make presentations to administrators and directors, draft corporate documents and help clients resolve specific legal problems.
