Tulane Law to Open Immigrants’ Rights Law Clinic

Professor Laila L. Hlass

Tulane Law School is launching a new Immigrants’ Rights Law Clinic to prepare students to meet the rapidly growing crisis in access to justice for detainees. The new clinic, supported by a seed gift of $400,000 by the Silicon Valley Community Foundation, comes as Louisiana is addressing immigration issues and Tulane Law is expanding skills-training for law students.

The launch of the clinic follows the recruitment to Tulane two years ago of Professor Laila Hlass, an expert on immigration law and policy.
