CLINICS SPOTLIGHT |
Social Workers and Lawyers Doing Holistic Child Advocacy Seven years ago, Maxine Latremoille began as a social work intern in the Children & Youth Law Clinic and never left. “I see it as one of my roles to bring a sense of context and humanity to the legal process. CYLC clients are more than just the sum of their case files; they are human beings,” says Latremoille. |
Students Secure Three Client Victories Via Health Rights Clinic Students from Miami Law’s Health Rights Clinic had three recent wins. “These are the first clients these students have ever represented,” said the clinic’s director JoNel Newman. “They started school in August, and have already changed their clients’ lives.” |
Human Rights Clinic Submits Four Reports to UN By the first week in October, eleven HRC students, under the supervision of Professors Caroline Bettinger-Lopez, Tamar Ezer, and Denisse Córdova Montes, were knee-deep in writing four Universal Periodic Review reports to the UN Human Rights Council, alleging human rights violations by the United States. |
Immigration Clinic's Ten-Year Legacy In the past decade the Immigration Clinic has defended countless individuals against deportation, advocated for immigrant survivors of violence, and unaccompanied border children, and mounted complex litigation against anti-immigrant laws and policies. "The clinic is a labor of love," says Professor Rebecca Sharpless, the founding director of the clinic. |
