We are grateful for the attorneys and law students who volunteered at the clinic. They are pictured below. We are especially grateful to Amelia McGowan, Immigration Attorney and Project Director of the Migrant Support Center, for leading the public awareness workshop that preceded the clinic and working closely with the attorneys and students to assure they were providing correct and helpful advice to the clinic's clients.
