    RJ Colloquium: Amanda Heffernan

    This speaker series considers the criminalization of reproduction—historical and contemporary, local and global—largely through the lens of reproductive justice.

    RSVP

    Abstract: President Trump’s harsh, exclusionary anti-immigrant policies were bolstered by rhetoric that demonized migrant pregnancy and motherhood. including tropes like “birth tourism,” “anchor baby,” “chain migration,” and “public charge.” The Obama and Biden administrations, in contrast, enacted and publicized policies excepting pregnant women from otherwise intensive immigration enforcement regimes, projecting an image of humanitarian concern. This paper uses critical feminist ethnography to study the impact of pregnancy-related immigration policies on the lived experiences of pregnant migrants arriving at the US-Mexico border from 2017-2022. It documents the impacts of a shifting landscape of exclusion, expulsion, deportation, detention, and release during an era of rapid migration policy change. The findings are clear: under every policy regime, pregnant women are negatively impacted. During periods characterized by increased detention, detention conditions are poor. During periods characterized by exclusion and expulsion, pregnant women are forced to wait in dangerous, precarious conditions in Northern Mexico, increasing the likelihood that they will attempt a perilous desert crossing into the United States. And during periods characterized by a greater chance of receiving humanitarian parole due to pregnancy, parole is seldom granted to partners and family members, making family separation inseparable from a supposedly humanitarian exception.

    Amanda Heffernan is a nurse midwife and Assistant Professor at Seattle University College of Nursing, where she is also Clinical Placement Coordinator for the Midwifery Program. In addition, she is a Seattle University PACE (Partnership for Advancing Community Engagement) Fellow and a faculty fellow at the Seattle University Institute for Catholic Thought and Culture. Her research interests sit at the intersection of migration and reproductive justice, including the impact of detention on families and the experiences of pregnant migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border. She is author of “Pregnancy in United States Immigration Detention: The Gendered Necropolitics of Reproductive Oppression” in International Feminist Journal of Politics. She received a Ph.D. in Nursing from the University of New Mexico, an MSN in Nurse-Midwifery from Frontier Nursing University, a B.S. in Nursing from the University of Washington, and a B.A. in History from Whitman College.

AuSSLC has a close relationship with the Travis County Probate Courts, due to the courts' role in administering guardianships and the county's mental health court. Judge Herman and/or Judge Chu from the Travis County Probate Court may be in attendance. Many of our wards under guardianship are there as well.

This event is part of the Justice Center initiative designed to support students whose lived experiences, or those of their loved ones, intersect with the legal systems they aspire to challenge in their careers.

    Spring 2025 Judicial Internships

    Please RSVP by Tuesday, October 29, on TEX. Pizza will be served.

    Interested in a judicial internship for Spring 2025? Get an insider's look from your classmates who have been through it. Judicial internships are rare and coveted opportunities: they offer hands-on experience in some of the most demanding, dynamic, and exciting legal environments. They’re also one of the few ways to get “behind the scenes” of the judicial decision-making process while you’re still in law school. UT Law is at the center of judicial excellence in the country, and there are numerous opportunities at both the state and federal levels (trial and appellate), covering a variety of complex legal issues. You’ll learn how to find a good fit and apply, and how to parlay your coursework into a one-of-a-kind experiential learning opportunity. We’ll also discuss the course component of the internship, which focuses on enhancing your experience with legal writing, confidentiality and ethics, professionalism, and judicial decision-making.

    Moderated by Judge Vasu Behara, Director of the Judicial Internship Program.

    Note for 1Ls: Be on the lookout early in the spring term for our program focusing on summer judicial internships.

    MPRE Practice Exam

    The November MPRE will be here before you know it! When it comes to high-stakes testing, practice makes passing, and we have a great opportunity for you to get in some practice under exam-like conditions. On Friday November 1 at 1pm, Bethany Pierpont, attorney and director from Helix Bar Review will host a Simulated MPRE Exam in Room TN 2.137. Donuts will be provided.

    Even if you don't feel like you're ready for it, completing a simulated exam before attempting the actual MPRE is a great way to get in the right mindset for the test - to help you know what to expect so that you can feel confident walking into the testing center. The feedback you receive from your simulated MPRE will give you a snapshot of your current areas of strength - and weakness - so you know where to focus your efforts between now and exam day.

    Here's how you can take part in this event (please note registration is a multiple step process):

    1. Register here by Wednesday October 30: https://go.helixbarreview.org/l/992142/2024-07-23/nzrly 2. Enroll in the November Helix MPRE (for free) no later than Thursday October 31: https://enroll.helixbarreview.org/helix-mpre/ 3. Show up on Friday November 1 @ 1pm in Room TN 2.137 with your laptop and charging cord to complete the Simulated exam within Helix MPRE. It will be 2.5 hours well spent!

    If you have any questions, or need assistance enrolling in the Helix MPRE course, please do not hesitate to contact Bethany Pierpont (bpierpont@helixbarreview.org).
