Description
The 2023 Fall Emerging Needs Clinic is an opportunity for students to develop lawyering and leadership skills by engaging in one of the most salient issues facing local communities and nations: the migrant crisis. Through a unique partnership with the Mayor?s Office of Immigrant Affairs, Clinic students will provide frontline legal assistance to preserve the rights of migrants who have been transported from other states to New York City. The Clinic?s comprehensive coursework and fieldwork will equip students to become proficient in the knowledge and application of substantive immigration law. For example, on a weekly basis, students will provide limited scope representation, including filing asylum applications, motions for change of venue, prosecutorial discretion applications, Special Immigrant Juvenile petitions, and work authorization applications among other legal tools.
