Jawziya Zaman - Diverse Voice of the Immigration Bar

In our final video of the Diverse Voices of the Immigration Bar series, we hear from writer and former immigration attorney, Jawziya Zaman. In her video, Jawziya describes her journey as an immigration lawyer and what led her to ultimately leaving it behind. Jawziya is now a writer and editor, who has written popular pieces such as "Why I Left Immigration Law" which was published in Dissent Magazine. You can read her article here: www.dissentmag...
The Diverse Voices of the Immigration Bar series focuses on lawyers who identify with the communities and clients whom they serve. The goal for this project is to share a series of short videos that explore, through storytelling, diversity in immigration law; the challenges faced by diverse lawyers in this practice area; and advice about how to deal with these challenges.
Through these web stories, the Commission on Immigration hopes to contribute to normalizing a culture of openly discussing burnout and secondary trauma within law school settings, nonprofits, government agencies, and law firms.
