On October 25th after a half hour break I met with Domingos again at Strozier. He wants to become an immigration lawyer in Florida. He is already enrolled in an L.L.M. program at the college of law and will start in the spring, but he wants to apply to a J.D. program. He asked me to help him look at different law schools with him. I used the different law school websites as material to help him practice his vocabulary. For example, the Florida State College of Law website offers courses on the legalities of migrants. "Legalities" is a word he was unfamiliar with, but using top-down processing he was able to figure out the meaning of the word. "Migrants" was another word he was unfamiliar with. Again, after using some top-down processing Domingos was able to deduce the meaning. He still has more work to do in order to be a lawyer, because lawyers are known to read and write a lot. He can do it though.
