Congratulations to Albany Law School Professor Sarah Rogerson, recipient of the 2019 M. Shanara Gilbert Award—one of the most prestigious national honors in clinical legal education!

Professor Rogerson is the founding director of the Immigration Law Clinic. Established in 2015, the Immigration Law Clinic—part of The Justice Center at Albany Law School—has become a vital entity in Albany and New York State, providing free legal services to undocumented immigrants who seek a lawful path to citizenship.
