The Texas A&M Law School Immigrant Rights Clinic is fighting to stop the deportation of Cameroonian immigrants who were severely abused in Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody. Some were subjected to excessive force that resulted in broken fingers when officers tried to force them to provide fingerprints, while others were pepper sprayed in retaliation for refusing to sign documents. At least one person also reported seeing officers soak detainees in a shower and then tase them. The Immigrant Rights Clinic filed several complaints on behalf of the Cameroonian immigrants to the Office of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties of the Department of homeland Security, and has asked ICE to delay their imminent removal so that their claims can be thoroughly investigated.

On September 27-28, 2019, more than 30 intellectual property and technology law scholars from around the world gathered together at Texas A&M University School of Law to celebrate the fifth anniversary of its Annual Intellectual Property Scholars Roundtable.

The significant increase in the number of students at the Texas A&M University School of Law mandated several changes with the school’s parking. 

“We recognized immediately that the increased enrollment was going to impact how we operate across the board,” said Assistant Dean Viviene Crooks. “Obviously, parking had to be enhanced rather substantially.”

Texas A&M University School of Law's Timothy Mulvaney, professor of law and associate dean for faculty research and development, is appointed as one of four inaugural fellows of the Centre for Property Law (CCPL) at the University of Cambridge.

The Texas A&M University School of Law will give students and the public the opportunity to witness oral arguments in person when it hosts the Supreme Court of Texas Thursday, October 10.
