Come to Room 3260 at noon on November 4 to hear all about the summer clinical opportunities at the Economic Justice Institute (EJI). Get a cookie and learn from current students about EJI's clinical programs: The Consumer Law Clinic (CLC), the Family Court Clinic (FCC), the Neighborhood Law Clinic (NLC), and the Immigrant Justice Clinic (IJC). All of the clinical programs offer students the opportunity to advocate on behalf of lower income clients with real problems. Legal issues include landlord-tenant, government benefits, wage cases, consumer fraud, immigration relief, and family law. Students have substantial involvement with the clients the clinics serve. Students hone their skills in interviewing, counseling and all aspects of providing legal services to the under-served in our community.  More detail about each of the clinical programs can be found at http://www.law.wisc.edu/eji/.

Students enrolled in the EJI clinics next year will participate full-time (for a small stipend and 7 credits) in the Summer (beginning late May 2014) and continue into the Fall and Spring semesters for fewer credits.  Enrolling for a full-year program provides students with the benefit of appearing in court once they have earned 45 credits. 

Students from each of the clinics will be available on November 4th to answer your questions about the programs and to tell you more about how the clinics work and the application process. Also, feel free to e mail any questions you have to the Clinic Director, Marsha M. Mansfield (marsha.mansfield@wisc.edu).
