Randi Mandelbaum


Randi Mandelbaum is a clinical professor of law, the Annamay Sheppard Scholar, and the director of the Child Advocacy Clinic. She has devoted her career to working with children and families and has extensive experience in clinical legal education.

Professor Mandelbaum earned a B.S. from Brandeis University, a J.D. from American University, Washington College of Law, and an LL.M. from Georgetown University Law Center. She began her legal career as a staff attorney at the Child Advocacy Unit of the Legal Aid Bureau in Baltimore, representing children in matters involving child abuse and neglect, termination of parental rights, custody, visitation, public benefits, special education, and foster care placement. She then went to the Georgetown University Law Center where, with another professor, she created a clinical program addressing the legal needs of families living in poverty. Prior to coming to Rutgers, Professor Mandelbaum was an associate clinical professor at the University of California, Hastings College of the Law, where she taught in the Civil Justice Clinic, Hastings' clinical program.

As founding director of the Rutgers Child Advocacy Clinic (CAC), Professor Mandelbaum designed and developed this unique clinical program, which is aimed at comprehensively addressing the needs of low-income children and their families. The CAC provides representation to foster children, undocumented immigrant children, and low-income children with disabilities. The CAC also sponsors a statewide community education project (the "Aging Out Project") aimed at educating older foster youth about their rights and entitlements. Professor Mandelbaum's scholarship focuses on the legal representation of children, the rights of siblings to maintain their relationships, issues concerning undocumented immigrant children, child welfare law, and law and policy.
