Baylor Law School had another successful DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) Immigration Clinic during the Spring 2013 quarter. Twenty-eight Baylor Law students volunteered to assist approximately 40 Waco-area residents with their applications.
The DACA application required the completion of three U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) forms, as well as the submission of supporting documentation to show identity, presence, and education. Baylor Law students interviewed the applicants, completed the forms, and correlated the evidence to meet USCIS requirements.
Baylor Law School Associate Professor Laura A. Hernández and Adjunct Professor Susan I. Nelson headed the Spring 2013 quarter DACA Immigration Clinic. The following people helped to make the Spring DACA Clinic a success:
