Neighborhood Law Clinic
The Neighborhood Law Clinic (NLC) is a community-based poverty law clinic located on Madison's South Side. NLC's service mission is to provide a broad range of legal and advocacy services to low-income people in the communities surrounding the UW-Madison Law School. Their educational mission is to create for law students a learning environment where, by assuming responsibility for matters affecting low income persons, they develop lawyering skills and learn how to think critically about the role and limits of law as a force for justice and social change.
Outcomes
NLC students provide individual representation in landlord-tenant, public benefits and employment law cases. They also work on community advocacy projects, such as legislative analysis, community legal education and community mobilization projects, working under the close supervision of the NLC clinical faculty.
