The Fellow will also direct the Published Justice Project, a new initiative to identify important decisions in the areas of consumer law and economic justice and to bring greater attention to those cases in scholarly/professional circles as well as the general public. Additionally, in conjunction with Center personnel, the fellow will support the Center's research goals by contributing to policy papers on an array of consumer protection and economic justice issues.
