Alumni, faculty and students

Just one week after taking the oath of office, President Donald Trump issued an Executive Order banning nationals from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States for 90 days and suspending refugee admission into the United States for 120 days. After the initial JOIN order was blocked by the courts, President Trump issued a slightly revised immigration ban in March 2017, which was again struck down by several courts of appeals. In June, the US Supreme Court ruled that the ban could partially go into effect pending oral arguments on the constitutionality of the ban scheduled for the fall term. This special report details how the law school’s alumni, deans, professors and students have taken a leading role in opposing the Executive Order and fighting for the rights of immigrants.

In addition, the Klatsky endowment provides our students with two $4,000 funded internships at Human Rights Watch. Dozens of students have parlayed their internships into permanent jobs.
