- Description:
- The Appellate Litigation Clinic (https://www.law.uga.edu/appellate-litigation-clinic) has won its case before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. In Santiaguez v. Garland, the clinic's client was a gay transgender rights advocate from the state of Guerrero, Mexico, who sought deferral of removal under the Convention Against Torture to prevent being sent back to his home country, where his brother was recently killed due to his sexual orientation. Third-year student Noah C. Nix presented oral argument and 2021 graduates Jared R. Allen and Olivia B. Hunter assisted in writing the briefs.
