Meg Keiser is a 2025 graduate of the University of Minnesota Law School where she earned her degree with a concentration in immigration law. Meg went to law school with the intent to become an immigration lawyer, and this has largely been her focus.
During college, Meg became interested in immigration law and interned at an immigration law firm as a way to practice her Spanish. During this internship, she quickly discovered her passion for working with immigrant communities. After graduating from Whitman College in 2020 with a degree and sociology and a minor in Spanish, she returned home to Minnesota and worked as an employment-based immigration paralegal for two years, assisting individuals and businesses in obtaining immigrant and nonimmigrant visas for their employees. She also worked on adjustment of status, naturalization, and J-1 waiver cases.
After beginning law school, Meg became interested in family-based, humanitarian, and removal defense cases. She worked as a law clerk throughout law school, focusing mainly on assisting clients in removal proceedings. She was also a certified student attorney in the Federal Immigration Litigation Clinic, where she gained experience in appellate immigration work at the Board of Immigration Appeals, the U.S. Courts of Appeal, and the U.S. Supreme Court. These experiences solidified her commitment to working in immigration law.
Also during law school, Meg was involved in the Minnesota Journal of Law and Inequality, first as a staffer, and later as an editor. She is proud to have her student note on gender-based particular social groups published in the journal.
