In support of our students and our community, the UNLV Immigration Clinic will be assisting with preparation of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) renewal forms for Nevada residents free of charge between now and October 5. I’m also very proud of our student organizations, La Voz; the Immigration Law Society; and the Black Law Student Association, who have come together to host a panel discussion regarding DACA on Sat., Sept. 16 at 10 a.m. in the Thomas & Mack Moot Court. More information about available resources can be found on our website.

You discovered your affinity for the law accidentally, right?

Yes, I originally wanted to be a news reporter. I attended a magnet high school that specialized in broadcast journalism and even entered college as a journalism major. However, I signed up for an internship program one summer and was unexpectedly placed at the Clark County Public Defender’s Office. It was my first real exposure to the legal profession. At the end of internship, I knew the legal field was where I belonged.
