Barbara Hines is an American immigration rights attorney. She is the founder of the University of Texas Law School immigration clinic.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=The UT Law Faculty - Barbara Hines ) 〕 Hines is recognized for her defense of the rights of immigrants, coming to national attention for her work in winning the release of families detained in the T. Don Hutto Residential Center in Taylor, Texas in 2008.〔 〕 ==Immigration Law== Hines work on immigration rights began in 1975 when she joined Legal Aid of Travis County. Because she was fluent in Spanish〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ms. Barbara Hines, Attorney )〕, she was assigned immigration cases, an area in which she had no experience. Subsequently immigration law became her professional and personal focus. Hines began teaching law in 1999 and founded the Immigration Law Clinic at the UT law school in 2007. Subsequently she trained hundreds of students by providing them primary responsibility for actual immigrant cases.〔〔 〕 Hines came to national attention for her leadership role in challenging the detention of women and children at the T. Don Hutto Residential Center in Taylor, Texas. The detention center held families with young children under controversial circumstances. After a visit to the detention center in 2006 Hines reported a sense of desperation, with children in prison scrubs, with virtually no education being provided.〔 Pressure from Barbara Hines and her UT law students enabled the ACLU to settle a lawsuit against the government in 2008.〔 〕 Infants and children were released from the T. Don Hutto detention center and children are no longer held at the facility.〔 Hines serves on the board of numerous immigration organizations and has authored many immigration law articles, including 'Basics of Immigration Law for Texas Criminal Defense Attorneys'.〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Barbara Hines (lawyer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
