The most meaningful part of my fellowship was the opportunity to advocate directly for clients. One experience that will remain with me was representing a detained client before an Immigration Judge. Standing in court on behalf of another person was both humbling and empowering. Although I was only a first-year law student, I was entrusted with a meaningful responsibility that had a real impact on someone's legal journey. That experience strengthened my confidence as an advocate and affirmed my decision to pursue a career in immigration law.
