Real law. Real clients.

Your semester at the law clinic will introduce you to the area of immigration law. Continuing the previous clinic work on the remaining civil, foreclosure and family cases, you will work with Catholic Social Services (CSS) and Advocates for Basic Legal Equality (ABLE) during the semester on referrals of immigration cases. You will work on cases such as applications for United States Citizenship (naturalization), representation of immigrants who are the victims of crimes in the U.S. who may be eligible for U Visa status, representation of immigrant spouses of U.S. Citizens who have been subject to abuse and who may qualify to file a Self Petition (I-360), unaccompanied minors in deportation proceedings who may qualify for Special Immigrant Juvenile Status as well as representing the minor child before the State Juvenile Court in custody proceedings and then apply for SIJS status before the Immigration Court and/or Asylum and Custody redetermination hearings before the Immigration court for immigrants detained at the Butler County Jail. Clinic representation may extend to refugee families who entered as refugees from their countries and who are now seeking adjustment of status (green cards).
