Legal Assistance Project (CSLAP) has a very limited number of spring 2008 slots
open to 2L and 3L students. CSLAP
students, under the supervision of Clinical Professor Judy Olingy, 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 emphasizes an interdisciplinary and holistic approach
to client representation. Students work in collaboration with their clients,
each other, and other system actors to develop and implement creative solutions
to client re-entry problems that often are complex, difficult and challenging. Specific
areas of assistance can include family law matters, obtaining government
disability benefits, questions about monetary obligations from court orders,
employment concerns, reinstatement of driver’s licenses, debt issues and
housing concerns.
