Law students get a head start in the real world
"Erubey Lopez began law school at UCLA two years ago knowing he wanted to become an immigration attorney.
But Lopez, an immigrant himself, got an earlier start than expected this spring.
In an effort to provide real-world experience to students and attract young talent to the specialty, UCLA School of Law created an immigration clinic this year.
The clinic, a joint project between the school and the Public Counsel Law Center, allows students to work with attorneys on actual cases while learning the ins and outs of immigration law."
