discrimination

Read a random definition: jus merae facultatis

A quick definition of discrimination:

Discrimination: Treating people differently when they are in the same situation, especially when there is no good reason for it. For example, if a boss only hires women and not men, even if the men are just as qualified, that is discrimination based on gender. Discrimination is bad and can be against the law.

A more thorough explanation:

Discrimination is when someone is treated differently from others who are in a similar situation, especially when there is no good reason for it. For example, if an employer refuses to hire any male applicants and instead hires the first female applicant who has the same qualifications, this is discrimination based on gender.

Discrimination can be against many different groups of people, such as those of a certain race, religion, age, or sexual orientation. It is illegal to discriminate against someone in the workplace, housing, education, or any other area of life.

Another example of discrimination is when a store owner refuses to serve someone because of their race. This is not only morally wrong, but it is also against the law.

Discrimination is a serious issue that can have a negative impact on people's lives. It is important to treat everyone with respect and fairness, regardless of their differences.

@s95: My cousin is an immigration attorney who recently argued in front of the supreme court. He attended the University of Houston for law school. There are so many good schools for immigration law, countless clinics.

@s95: The higher the rank though basically means more opportunities possibly with a debt trade off. It's hard for me to say more without knowing your goals though. Awesome you already have an idea what you want to do as a lawyer!

I would research immigration law clinics
@s95: generally school specialties are kind of silly. it’s usually the rank of the school that determines the opportunities you can get from it across the board
with caveats for strong regional schools with a regional focus and so on
