University of Wisconsin Law School students launched a new clinic Wednesday to help immigrants at risk of deportation navigate through the complicated legal proceedings surrounding deportation hearings. The Immigrant Justice Clinic is the result of several years of work by the Latino Law Students Association with immigrant detainees at the Dodge County Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility in Juneau, Wisconsin. According to third year law student and LLSA President Kathryn Finley, it quickly became evident the detainees had few options for much needed legal assistance due to a lack of Wisconsin attorneys willing to defend them.
