Law Students Do Good!
Realizing how limited legal resources for immigrants are in the United States due to her years spent consulting on immigration cases and her own experiences as a twelve-year-old immigrant from El Salvador, Evelyn Cruz, an associate clinical professor in the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University, teamed up with the Florence Immigrant & Refugee Rights Project in 2005 to create the Immigration Law & Policy Clinic. Thanks to the clinic, a class of six ASU law students can now develop cases for and represent immigrant children at legal hearings. For more on this story, click here.
