This
guest post is from Julianne E. Fleischer, Regent
University School of Law ‘2020:
I completed my two year clerkship with the immigration
division of the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) last week! I can’t believe how
quickly the two years went by! Though this clerkship was mostly remote for the
duration of my term, I am grateful for the many opportunities I received
throughout the course of my clerkship. Two years ago, I had a limited knowledge
of immigration law, and now, having spent my time supporting and assisting
immigration judges, I have a much better understanding and appreciation for the
world of immigration law.
On my last day, one of my judges asked me what I enjoyed
most about the clerkship. While I am grateful for the legal development I
received, I told her that I was honored to work on judicial decisions that
impacted the lives and well-being of so many individuals and their families.
Many of the cases I worked on required a delicate balance of exercising the law
and exercising compassion. This clerkship was a great experience, and I’m
grateful I had the opportunity to spend my first two years as an attorney
working with such excellent judges and legal staff. Above is a picture of
my judge and I on my last day of my clerkship.
Next week, I will be starting a legal counsel position
with the non-profit organization, Advocates for Faith & Freedom, here in California.
I interned with this organization after my 1L year of law school, and I am
thrilled to be joining them once again! The non-profit handles a large range of
religious liberty cases. I’m excited to step into this role and grow in my skills as an
attorney and as an advocate for religious liberty.
Regent Law graduates are making
a difference for families in immigration, at the DOJ and across the
nation. Family restoration starts with great
lawyers.
