David Major, a 3L Santa Clara Law School student, successfully represented an African man who was imprisoned by his government and tortured for over a year on account of his religious beliefs and practices. The case involved many hours of research and preparation. As a result of David’ s hard work and dedication, the Immigration Judge granted political asylum to the client and to the client’s minor daughter. The client will be able to bring his wife and other children to the United States, where they will be able to practice their religious beliefs without fear of persecution.
