In this semester-long clinic offered in conjunction with the Legal Aid Justice Center, students are assigned several clients and handle at least one complex case involving extensive client interviewing, factual investigation and legal briefs.

Students may work with clients appealing denials of applications for status, appealing for special categorization or procedures, or with clients who have cases complicated by past criminal or immigration histories. In addition to covering complex statutory, regulatory and case law, the clinic covers skills such as eliciting information from abuse victims and working through cultural and language differences.
