Article Abstract:
Law students Nicole Hampton and Sherri Honer and Professor Stuart Miller of Fullerton, CA's Western State University College of Law were successful in persuading the US Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit to overturn an Immigration and Naturalization Service order to deport the Cuban Francisco Rodriguez-Roman. His application for political asylum had been rejected because his flight from Cuba was deemed to be illegal. Hampton and Honer put in many hours and impressed the federal court with their brief and oral argument.
