UW Law School Clinical Assistant Professor Marsha Mansfield has been named Director of the Economic Justice Institute (EJI), the "civil wing" of the Law School's Frank J. Remington Center.

The Institute includes three clinics:  the Consumer Law Litigation Clinic, Neighborhood Justice Project, and Family Court Assistance Project.

Mansfield spent most of her legal career as an attorney with Lawton & Cates, S.C. in Madison prior to 2002, when she joined the Remington Center to help supervise law students enrolled in EJI's Consumer Law Clinic and Neighborhood Law Project. In 2004, she developed EJI's Family Court Assistance Project (FCAP), in which law students work with unrepresented parties in Dane County's family court system to prepare their cases for resolution.

As EJI’s director, Mansfield aims to create a closer coordination among EJI's three clinics in the educational opportunities they provide to law students and the services they provide to low-income citizens with civil law concerns.
