Lynsay Gott, Refugee Project Associate Attorney & Equal Justice Works Fellow Human Rights USA.

"Lynsay received her J.D. from University of Cincinnati College of the Law, and joined our staff full-time in September 2007 as an Equal Justice Works Fellow after serving as a legal intern with our organization for one year. She has taken a keen interest in the loopholes in U.S. law that limit the availability of asylum protections and mandate the return of some trafficked persons to their countries of origin where they were originally victimized. Her law review comment on this issue, “Unrealistic Burdens: How the T visa and Asylum Law Fail to Protect Many Victims of Trafficking,” was recently published in the Immigration and Nationality Law Review. Her work is focused on establishing asylum protection for trafficked persons. Her Equal Justice Works Fellowship is generously funded by the law firm of Steptoe & Johnson, LLP."
