Universities collaborate to advance consumer education, advocacy
| Marshall University and the West Virginia University College of Law have established a one-of-its-kind Center for Consumer Law and Education (CCLE) to build advocacy for those in West Virginia and beyond. It is the only center of its kind on the East Coast and the only one that is a collaboration between two universities. CCLE’s mission is to serve as a principal consumer, law, policy, education and support resource in West Virginia and nationally. Through outreach efforts, the CCLE will provide the public with access to consumer and financial literacy information, as well as serve policymakers through new research on emerging consumer issues. The center will also offer experiential learning opportunities and scholarships for law students and provide continuing legal education programs for lawyers. The center will be directed by Damien Arthur at Marshall University and Jonathan Marshall at WVU. |
