Frank J. Remington Center

The Frank J. Remington Center is the home of the Law School's prison-based clinics as well as the public defender and prosecution externships. The Center was founded over 50 years ago by the late Professor Frank J. Remington as one of the nation's first clinical programs.

Our Objectives

Education

The Center provides a tremendous array of clinical experiences to students at University of Wisconsin Law School. Regardless of their variety, our clinical projects are motivated by core educational values, through which we have developed a consistent philosophy of clinical education.

Service

The Center has a strong commitment to service, broadly defined, to low-income citizens, incarcerated individuals, correctional agencies, the public defender system, prosecutors' offices, victims, policy makers, and the larger community.

Research

As a learning center, we foster an environment in which students and clinical faculty can gather information on legal issues and empirical problems, reflect on them in a collaborative setting, and share findings with legal and scholarly communities. Our faculty and students have a long and impressive list of publications and appellate litigation.

Our Clinics

The Center offers law students with the opportunity to develop the substantive knowledge, professional skills and judgment necessary to excel as attorneys in all areas of the law; provides high-quality service in individual cases; and engages in empirical research necessary to bring about systemic improvements.
