Humanitarian Immigration Law Clinic, Elon University

The Immigration Clinic provides students with practical experience in client interviewing, cloud-based case management software, and preparing an application for federal immigration benefits. Students are given great autonomy to assist refugees and asylees in filing for family reunification, adjustment of status (green card), and naturalization (United States citizenship). Students also have the opportunity to conduct legal research and writing and represent clients in federal benefits hearings at USCIS Field Offices. Several Law instructors at Elon University possess undergraduate degrees in literary studies and remain interested in developing further courses that use literature, including a more traditional 'Law and Literature' course. This information has been collected for the Post-Discipline Online Syllabus Database. The database explores the use of literature by schools of professional education in North America. It forms part of a larger project titled Post-Discipline: Literature, Professionalism, and the Crisis of the Humanities, led by Dr Merve Emre with the assistance of Dr Hayley G. Toth. You can find more information about the project at https://postdiscipline.english.ox.ac.uk/. Data was collected and accurate in 2021/22.
