Like thousands of other students, KATIE PLICHTA headed to Miami this year for spring break.
But instead of spending all her time at Florida beaches and bars, the first-year Stanford Law School student participated in the University of Miami Law School’s alternative spring break program helping Haitians apply for temporary protected status.
She kept track of some of her experiences through blog postings recalling her efforts in the city’s Little Haiti district informing people how to apply for the paperwork they need to remain in the United States and obtain work authorization.
