Biography
The director of the Stanford Community Law Clinic, Juliet Brodie is a leading defender of the legal rights and interests of the working poor. She has written on the role of clinics in developing and testing new models of legal services delivery to low-wage workers in what she calls the "post-welfare" economy. She is a frequent speaker on community-based law practice, and the ethical issues that arise practicing law in a low-income setting. Her research interests include welfare reform and the role of law in advancing economic justice for the “have-nots” in American society.
Professor Brodie is a member of the editorial board of the Clinical Law Review, and is Chair-elect (2006-07) of the Poverty Law Section of the AALS. Before joining the Stanford Law School faculty in 2006, Professor Brodie was an Associate Clinical Professor at the University of Wisconsin Law School. She is a former litigation associate at the Boston law firm Hill & Barlow, and an assistant attorney general for the state of Wisconsin, where she prosecuted health care providers accused of defrauding the Medicaid system.
