After working as an immigration paralegal in various firms in Boston and Los Angeles, Professor Bran commenced his studies at Southwestern where he participated in the Community Lawyering Clinic and the Appellate Litigation Clinic and served as Co-President to the Latino Law Students Association and President to the Student Bar Association.
