Professor Kele Stewart published an essay titled “Relative Care within a Public Health Paradigm” in the symposium issue Impact: Collected Essays on the Threat of Economic Equality published by the New York Law School Impact Center for Public Interest Law. Her article “Unequal Access to Special Immigrant Juvenile Status: State Court Adjudication of One-Parent Cases” was cited by the Supreme Court of New Jersey in the consolidated cases H.S.P v. JK and K.G. V. M.S. (074241 and 074527). The decision clarifies the role of trial courts in making the findings necessary for non-citizen children to apply for "special immigrant juvenile" status under the Immigration Act of 1990. Professor Stewart co-directs the Children and Youth Law Clinic and teaches courses on family and juvenile law. Her research interests include child welfare, education and clinical pedagogy.
