Afghanistan Assistance Clinic II

Catalog description

In this course, students represent and/or provide research, instruction, and other legal support, directly or indirectly through pro bono lawyers and not-for-profits to Afghans at risk, primarily by filing affirmative asylum applications for scholars and students in the U.S. Advanced students also provide support to entry-level 7790 students filing first-time asylum applications. For example, advanced students share tips with entry level students on best practices for interviews, trust-building, research on domestic and international law and country conditions, editing and filing petitions, and drafting affidavits.
