Dreamers? Deffered action students?
Wondering if there is any dreamers/DACA applicants on TLS. If so when are you applying and what difficulties are you encountering with the app process for law schools? I am looking to establish a network of dreamers perusing a law degree...

Re: Dreamers? Deffered action students?
I can say that you probably will have problems during the ethics portion of the bar exam, and, depending on your firm/organization, and depending on whether immigration reform is going to be passed, you'll also face issues in applying for a working visa, etc.
If the bill passes and you get some way to work and eventually get permanent status, I can't see the bar barring you from practicing law, but you should consult a bar attorney anyway.
Also, the same advice applies to you as to everyone: Sticker only at HYS, or else only pay for law school at the rest of the T14. Otherwise, don't go.

Wow. It is embarrassing to not spell correctly.
I am getting ready to file for my residency, as a result I do not think that I will have issues with the ethics portion.
I am simply trying to establish connections with people that are currently in the same situation.
Anyone out there?

I became a resident in 2011, so not exactly the same situation but I understand where you are coming from. Trying to figure life out while you are undocumented is really difficult.
Either way, I wish you the best in your future endeavors. Hopefully CIR will happen sooner rather than later.

In California it won't matter. A precedent was set by the California Supreme Court that an illegal was granted bar passage. Don't expect to be hired by a firm, but you can become a lawyer.
