Matthew Andres, '02, is the director of the Veterans Legal Clinic and clinical assistant professor at the University of Michigan Law School. As clinic director, he uses his varied legal background to teach students how to provide civil legal services to veterans throughout the state of Michigan. The clinic represents low-income veterans in all kinds of civil litigation cases. He also works to protect the financial well-being of low-income consumers outside the context of the clinic.
In 2021, he taught a Policy Workshop in which he and students from the Law School and other U-M graduate schools worked together to develop policy proposals to improve debt collections litigation in Michigan.
