Introducing Our Summer Law Clerks!
July 9, 2025
ALRP’s law clerks provide essential support to our clients, often as their first and main point of contact. Over the years, hundreds of ALRP law clerks have supported us, many of whom have gone to volunteer their time with us as board members and panel attorneys. Some have even joined ALRP as full-time staff members. We are so excited to introduce this summer’s law clerks and share what they’ve been working on so far.
Mirna Champ is a 3L at USF School of Law, graduating December 2025. She focuses on immigration reform, removal defense, and civil litigation, with a strong interest in how blockchain and AI can reshape legal infrastructure. Before USF, she completed two years at GGU Law and brings hands-on litigation and advocacy experience.
At ALRP, Mirna supports TPS and asylum cases, gathers evidence and client declarations for removal defense, and drafted an opposition to a motion to dismiss. She chose ALRP to do real immigration defense, go to court, and fight for clients facing the toughest circumstances.
Ryan Lee is a second-year law student at UC Davis Law. He is interested in pursuing immigration law. In his free time, he enjoys thrifting, cooking, and playing guitar.
Ryan was drawn to ALRP because of our message and what we have done for the San Francisco community. Being in San Francisco for most of his life, he wanted to do his part to give back to the community that raised him. So far, he has drafted referral letters, and he is currently working on a Civil Liability research project.
Joshua McDaniel is a second-year law student at Berkeley Law. Prior to law school, he spent four years in the Navy. He loves the Bay Area and is passionate about giving back to the community. Joshua enjoys reading, playing video games, and spending time in nature.
So far this summer, he has drafted interrogatories for discovery; drafted and helped negotiate a settlement agreement in an eviction case; and researched and drafted memoranda on substantive legal issues including housing and immigration.
Bess Olshen is a senior at Stanford University. She is interested in attending law school and pursuing public interest work in the future. In her spare time, she enjoys hiking, cooking, and playing with her dog.
Bess was drawn to ALRP for the opportunity to serve the Bay Area LGBTQ+ community. This summer, she is excited to learn more about housing and immigration law while assisting clients.
Jasmin Roley is a second year law student at UC Law SF (Formerly "UC Hastings"). Prior to law school, she worked as a resource teacher for students with disabilities for over six years in public schools. Jasmin plans to continue her career pathway in the public interest sector after graduation.
Jasmin was drawn to ALRP because she is passionate about supporting accessibility and equitable practices for communities. So far, she has been able to assist with eviction and non-eviction housing issues, drafting attorney referrals, conducting legal research and writing, and helping clients access resources.
Thank you to all of the law clerks who have made a difference in our clients’ lives!
