My name is Adonia Simpson and I'm the 2009-2010 CLSR Fellow at New England Law Boston. As Fellow, I'lll be assisting all Center Professors with their respective projects (criminal, environmental, immigration, women and children, tobacco policy, and general public interest).
We'll all keep this blog current with pro bono opportunities and other developments in our respective areas, and also with upcoming LawMatters events, which are open to the entire law school community and often the public as well.
My main solo project is my work at Greater Boston Legal Services in the area of Special Immigrant Juveniles. Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) can be granted to undocumented minors who have been declared dependents of U.S. juvenile court or a state agency or department due to abuse, abandonment or neglect. It promises to be a very intense and rewarding experience.
Please feel free to respond to this or any post, or to contact me for additional information at adonia.r.simpson@nesl.edu.
