Wilbanks CEASE Clinic assisted over 55 survivors last year

The Wilbanks Child Endangerment and Sexual Exploitation Clinic, which began operations eight years ago, continues to demonstrate the value of quality, trauma-responsive legal representation for survivors. Last year, more than 55 survivors in 12 Georgia counties received direct client services from the clinic, while dozens more received indirect advocacy through the clinic’s partnerships with law firms, child advocacy centers, and other agencies across the state. The clinic was established in 2016 thanks to a founding gift from 1986 School of Law alumnus and Board of Visitors Chair Marlan B. Wilbanks.
