This course will satisfy the Law School's upper-level Professional Responsibility requirement. Enrollment is limited to six students. Students who take Immigration Law, or who took the course last year, will have the opportunity to do clinical work for two extra credits this fall. This is an optional add-on to the regular course. There is a limit of 15 students for this Practicum.
Enrollment is separate from the Immigration Law course.
Students will be able to choose the type of work which most interests them and will be specially trained and supervised. More detailed information will be available in the first Immigration Law class of the fall semester. Students who are especially interested in this field should also note that in the following spring semester they may enroll in the Advanced Immigration Law Seminar and Practicum in which they may continue their clinical work at a higher level of responsibility. Completion of the Immigration Law course and Practicum is a prerequisite for the spring Advanced Seminar and Practicum. Students will apply the theory they learn in the classroom to representation of young people in or at risk for entering the juvenile justice system and to policy advocacy.
