Political Asylum

Today I had my final presentation for my political asylum class, where I gave an 8 minute oral argument arguing in favor of an alien receiving political asylum.

This has been one of my favorite classes this semester, mostly because we have a professor who is a former immigration judge and who gives us practical advice and practice. Even though I have had experience with asylum through my various internships, I have learned so much by being able to study the topic in depth this semester. I now feel confident that I can analyze an asylum claim to determine whether or not it has a chance in court, and then advise a client accordingly. I can't wait to be an attorney when I can do this for real!

Rhetorically,
