Professor Misner-Pollard runs the Immigration Law Clinic at Oklahoma City University School of Law. She teaches the substantive immigration law course at the law school, as well. Prior to her move to Oklahoma, she taught substantive immigration law as an adjunct professor at Seattle University School of Law. She also is a frequent speaker on domestic violence, family law, and access to justice issues at Continuing Legal Education programs and other advocacy conferences.
