    Fellows at the Community Development Clinic have conducted more than 130 hours of research and client service in cutting-edge areas of law. When Nicole Egan and Mike Masci began the semester, their client presented with a complex set of legal needs. In order to fully address client needs, Egan and Masci engaged in substantive legal research which included topics recently litigated as first impression cases, Municipal Law, and complex property transactions. In light of this research, Egan and Masci were able to craft contractual language which addressed client concerns.
