The newest clinic in the Remington Center's cluster of clinical programs is the Community Supervision Legal Assistance Project (CSLAP). It began operation in September 2007, and is an academic-year clinical. Directed by Clinical Professor Judith Olingy, the program will provide a wide range of legal assistance to clients who are on community supervision through the Wisconsin Department of Corrections' Division of Community Corrections.
The clinic will emphasize an interdisciplinary approach to legal representation and aims to help each student develop effective and responsible ways to creatively address and solve the complex, uncertain and messy problems of clients
Specific areas of assistance include housing law, employment law, family law, disability law, debt issues, revocation hearings, restitution issues, early release from supervision, and reinstatement of drivers licenses.
