In the Crimmigration Clinic students will work on cutting-edge issues regarding the intersection of criminal law and immigration law. Students pursuing crimmigration clinical work will be divided into teams and complete projects such as drafting appellate briefs, advising criminal defense attorneys on the potential immigration consequences of criminal charges, and drafting policy memoranda for public defender offices and other nonprofit organizations. Four students will be placed at Harvard and work approximately 12 hours a week for clinical credit. Students must complete the pre-requisite Crimmigration: The Intersection of Criminal Law and Immigration Law clinical course before enrollment in the clinic.
