Second-year student Elizabeth M. “Beth” Boland and third-year student Lauren R. Harter secured asylum for a long-time Community Health Law Partnership Clinic client. Under the supervision of Director & Hosch Professor Jason A. Cade and Staff Attorney Kristen Shepherd, the students represented the client at her most recent hearing in Arlington, Virginia, marking the end of nine years of advocacy. Clinic Paralegal Sarah Ehlers served as interpreter.
Other students who worked on the case, which included litigation before the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, Board of Immigration Appeals, and the Federal District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, were Carolina Mares, Hope Skypek (J.D.’24), Anna T. Ratterman (J.D.’24), Ariane C. “Ari” Williams (J.D.’22), Thomas A. Evans (J.D.’22) and Frederick King (J.D.’21).
