Southwestern Law School partners with Los Angeles LGBT Center to launch Asylum Law Clinic

Prelaw reports that Southwestern Law School is collaborating with the Los Angeles LGBT Center to launch the Asylum Law Clinic in Fall 2024 to provide the next generation of lawyers with the skills to dismantle barriers to asylum.

The collaboration was initiated by John Heilman law professor at Southwestern, who has a long history of connecting his students with the Los Angeles LGBT Center’s Legal Services Department.  Andrea Ramos, director of the Immigration Law Clinic at Southwestern, said the Asylum Law Clinic is a huge step in training law students to advocate effectively for marginalized groups.
