Description
Special reception at 6 p.m. The talk will begin at 7 p.m.
As the immigrant population in Wisconsin has grown, so has the pervasive criminalization and underrepresentation of immigrants within the legal system. In response to this crisis, Taeuber and her colleagues created the Immigrant Justice Clinic to provide legal representation for immigrants. These cases range from triumphant to heartbreaking, but all shed light on the immigration situation within Wisconsin, the US, and the world.
