Law Students' Interest in Immigration Law Growing!

According to a June 21, 2010 Denver Post article, interest in immigration law among law students in Colorado is growing. At both of Colorado’s law schools, the University of Denver, and the University of Colorado, law students are pushing for clinics and classes dedicated to immigration law. In just the past several years, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of classes offered at DU, as well as in increase in students who are interested in completing internships related to immigration law. The article states that immigration law is considered the second most complicated legal field, next to tax. Unfortunately for students who wish to practice immigration law upon graduation, although there is a very high need for qualified immigration attorneys, there are few employment opportunities.

The Joseph Law Firm, P.C. (JLF) is one of only a handful of immigration law firms in the Denver and Colorado Springs. Fortunately for law students in Colorado, JLF offers several internships to law students each semester. This provides valuable experience for law students in their professional endeavors, and it also provides the field of immigration law with new attorneys who are well-versed in the field. With the high number of applicants for these valuable, volunteer-based internships, JLF is able to choose those students most dedicated to the field and to helping people in need.
