  Come to the EJI Brown Bag on November 4, at noon, in Room 2260 to learn all about EJI's summer clinical opportunities and meet with current students to hear about their experiences. 

EJI consists of the Law School's four civil clinical advocacy programs: The Consumer Law Clinic (CLC), the Neighborhood Law Clinic (NLC), the Family Law Clinic (FCC), and the Immigrant Justice Clinic (IJC). All 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 cases, immigration relief, and family law. Students hone their skills in interviewing, counseling and all aspects of providing legal services to the underserved in our community.  More details about the clinical programs can be found at http://www.law.wisc.edu/eji/index.html. 

Students enrolled in the EJI clinics next year will participate full-time (for a small stipend and 7 credits, including a tuition remission) in the summer (beginning alt May 2013) an dcontinue into the fall and spring semesters for four credits each semester. Enrolling for a full-year program provides students with an exception experience and 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 what they do in their respective clinics. Also, feel free to e mail any question you have to the Clinic Director, Marsha M. Mansfield (mmmansfield@wisc.edu).
