Louica Alexandre
As a staff attorney in the Refugee & Immigrant Program, Louica works as a lead attorney within the Immigration HUB collaborative, where she helps create pro se materials, oversees community outreach, assists other staff working to expand access to immigration legal help, and represents a variety of clients, including unaccompanied minors, in immigration matters.
She is drawn to the human rights field, especially immigration, to help as many people as she can because there is such a huge need. It truly is a great way to ensure that people are heard and have a chance to be represented. As an immigrant from Haiti, Louica seeks to help other immigrants feel heard and treated kindly.
Louica recently graduated from the University of Minnesota Law School, where she concentrated in immigration law and served as a certified student attorney in the Detainee Rights Clinic. She also served as the President of the Black Law Students Association, Moot Court Director for the Midwest Black Law Students Association, and a teaching assistant for various professors. During her last two years of law school, Louica clerked with the Hennepin County Public Defender’s Office and Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid, where she assisted clients with affirmative and defensive asylum and withholding of removal applications, waivers of inadmissibility, restitution defense, and research and writing briefs for criminal court.
Louica is a member of AILA. She speaks English, French, and Haitian-creole (Kreyol Ayisyen) fluently and speaks Advanced Spanish.
