Unemployment Compensation Appeals Clinic
The clinic provides free legal representation to unemployed workers in connection with their unemployment compensation hearings and LIRC appeals. You can think of our Monday night clinics like office hours. You can sign up to speak to a law student about your claim and get information on the state of unemployment law in Wisconsin. The student may be able to offer representational services as an advocate in your appeal, but due to our limited resources, we are unable to offer representation in all cases. In cases where we are unable to offer you representation, we try to offer you information to empower you to represent yourself in your appeal hearing. Absent that clear offer of representation (and furnishing of a retainer agreement) your relationship with the clinic ends at the time that your phone call ends.
We help specifically with administrative unemployment appeals, not issues pertaining to applications, delayed determinations, or cases in Wisconsin circuit court.
