Students have also helped clients resist deportation and facilitated immigrants and their family members in processing green cards and visas. The Immigration Clinic also participates in immigrants' rights organizations. The Immigration Law Clinic provides students with an opportunity to develop fundamental lawyering skills and values under the guidance of clinical faculty. The clinic represents clients before Immigration Judges and works on appeals to the Third Circuit with an emphasis on cases of political asylum and adjustment of status. Each student represents approximately ten clients per semester.
Seminars emphasize skills being used in practice as well as substantive immigration law.
The clinic is open to students who have completed 54 credits. The course is letter-graded for both the clinical and classroom components.
