A Celebration of the UW School of Law Immigration Clinic
On February 4, 2008 friends and supporters gathered at the Lane Powell law firm to celebrate and raise funds for the UW School of Law/Northwest Immigrant Rights Project Immigration Clinic.
Matt Adams of NWIRP, Signe Dortsch the clinic director and law dean Greg Hicks welcomed everyone to the event. Participants also heard a powerful client story, a stirring keynote by Rep. Jim McDermott, witnessed beautiful dancing by Bailadores de Bronce and heard from student speakers -- present and past! With so much need in the community and with the growing support of donors this project will hopefully soon become a permanent fixture of the law school.
