My experiences with the Immigration Clinic absolutely exceeded my expectations. In my first year, opportunities to participate in pro bono work through the Clinic, including detention work, kept me motivated and reminded me why I decided to go to law school in the first place. As a Student Attorney in the Clinic during my second and third years, not only did I gain the legal experience I will need to succeed in my future workplace, but also great friends and mentors who I know will continue to support my endeavors in years to come. No student should pass up the opportunity to take on a case in the Immigration Clinic; we have so much to learn from our clients.
