Students Help Legal Permanent Residents Apply for Citizenship
Students from La Raza Law Students Association and the Immigration Clinic earned mention on the American Bar Association Law Student Division Circuit Board for helping legal permanent residents apply for American citizenship at a series of workshops last semester.
La Raza Law Students Association, founded in the early 1970s, is dedicated to increasing the number of Chicanos and Latinos in law school and the legal profession. To further this goal, La Raza actively engages in the recruitment of undergraduate students, academic and professional support for our current students, and the hiring process of faculty of color. La Raza also sponsors several events and activities throughout the year to promote awareness of issues facing the Latino community and to share the Latino culture and identity. La Raza has demonstrated to be one of the largest and most active law student organizations at King Hall.
Students that work in the Immigration Clinic represent immigrants seeking asylum or cancellation of removal before the Immigration Court in San Francisco. Students interview clients and witnesses, prepare legal briefs, draft pleadings and motions, and represent immigrants in federal, state, and administrative proceedings.
