A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT to appropriate funds to the board of governors of the university of north carolina to establish and operate an immigration law clinic at north carolina central university.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1.  There is appropriated from the General Fund to the Board of Governors of The University of North Carolina the sum of two hundred fifty thousand dollars ($250,000) for the 2006‑2007 fiscal year to be allocated to North Carolina Central University School of Law to establish and maintain an immigration law clinic.  While NCCU Law School will continue to offer a course in immigration law and externship opportunities with local law firms that practice immigration law, NCCU Law School will also establish the initial in‑house clinic under the supervision of a full‑time, experienced immigration law attorney.  While the immigration law clinic will initially focus on legal issues, the long‑term goal of the clinic is to become a clearinghouse and training center for the community as a whole.
SECTION 2.  This act becomes effective July 1, 2006.
