Immigration Law and Advocacy Clinic II

Catalog description

In this advanced course, students will continue work on immigration matters including asylum cases, representation for detained and/or undocumented communities, and other projects involving litigation and/or community outreach. Students will take ownership of their cases and projects, working independently or in teams to advance their clients' goals under the instructor's supervision. Prior casework and projects for advanced clinic students have included participation in trial-level immigration litigation; research and writing on issues for undocumented students; time-sensitive case work for detained clients; and filing various immigration petitions with USCIS. Advanced students may also mentor students new to clinic.
