On March 31, Haub Law’s Fairbridge Investor Rights Clinic participated in the third U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Investor Advocacy Clinic Summit. Clinic attendees included 3L student interns Daiquan Frasier, Shabnam Froogh, Diego Gomez, Jessica Jhingoor, Jonathan Lee, and Omar Youssef, and Professor Elissa Germaine. Fairbridge Investor Rights Clinic student interns Daiquan Frasier, Diego Gomez, and Jonathan Lee were presenters on the Summit panel, Lessons Learned from Harmed Investors – Gamification and Investor Behavior. These Haub Law students collaborated with students from clinics at New York Law School and Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law on their well-received presentation. They also answered questions from SEC panelists about this important investor protection issue. Impressively, a comment letter regarding digital engagement practices submitted by these Haub Law students was referenced by SEC Chair Gary Gensler in his opening remarks. SEC Commissioner Caroline Crenshaw, SEC Commissioner Allison Herren Lee, SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce, SEC Investor Advocate Rick Fleming, SEC Ombudsman Tracey L. McNeil, and others from the SEC, FINRA, and the AARP also either delivered remarks or otherwise participated in the Summit. Congratulations to all!

Professor Amelia Wilson, Director of the Immigration Justice Clinic at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University, was quoted in Newsweek on the potential to revoke green card holders’ lawful permanent residency. “The law contained within the Immigration and Nationality Act is clear. The Department of Homeland Security cannot unilaterally "revoke" a permanent resident's status,” she said. “The Justice Department's position before the Third Circuit is yet another attempt to terrorize immigrant communities.”
