Philip Torrey (Harvard Law School)
First-Year Seminar 67C | Spring Term | Thursday, 9:30–11:30 AM
Enrollment limited to 12 | CANVAS SITE
The public discourse on immigration is widespread and divisive. If you have ever wanted to know more about how our immigration system operates, then this seminar is for you. The goal of the seminar is to teach students in an interactive and welcoming environment the basic aspects of U.S. immigration policy. The seminar will cover the history of immigration policy, including immigration detention and the role that criminal law policies have played in shaping our current immigration system. The seminar also offers students interested in potentially attending law school the opportunity to work with a Harvard Law School faculty member and learn how immigration policy has been shaped by lawyers and other advocates.
