American University Launches New Defending the AU Dream Initiative

Good news for immigrants from American University Washington College of Law!

American University is launching a new Defending the AU Dream Initiative. The Initiative will support immigration legal services provided by the Immigrant Justice Clinic at American University Washington College of Law (AUWCL). Services will include representation of college-age students with DACA and other immigration-related matters at AU and at other institutions in the DC metropolitan area.

Additionally, to broaden its impact, the Immigrant Justice Clinic team will conduct clinics and screenings at locations around the region.  The Clinic plans to disseminate the model, including best practices and lessons learned, to other law school clinics and faculty around the country. 

The Clinic will expand the scope of its services for the 2019-20 academic year, increasing the number of student participants. A total of 16 students are set to take part in the Immigrant Justice Clinic during the upcoming academic year.
