Since January 1 of this year, the Jane W. Wilson Family Justice Clinic has assisted 472 victims of domestic violence and stalking who were seeking representation and advice. Under the leadership of Clinical Associate Professor and Wilson Family Justice Clinic Director Christine M. Scartz, law students enrolled in the clinic have logged more than 2,400 hours and represented victims in 72 protective order cases and 14 other domestic relations cases such as divorce, legitimation and name change during 2024.
Most clinic clients are from Athens-Clarke and Oconee counties, but the Wilson Family Justice Clinic has aided individuals from Barrow, Carroll, DeKalb, Floyd, Madison, Muscogee, Newton and Putnam counties.
