Sang Hwa Lee and Eliza Vorenberg, Director of the ProBono Collaborative
Here is a dispatch from Prof. Mary Holper, who directs the RWU Law Immigration Clinic.

The first few weeks, or maybe even months of getting called on was scary. I was envious of those people that could be in the hot seat and it seemed like just an ordinary conversation between them and the professor. That person is not me. Whenever I get called on – correction, whenever I hear the professor even start to say, “Ms. . .” – I can feel my blood start to boil and all the facts, issues, and ideas I had about any particular case just start floating out of my brain. And then someone else gets called on instead of me. Everything comes...
