Module 7 trains students in ethnographic court‑watching as a form of participant observation that emphasizes ethnographic witnessing. It guides observers to use thick description to document courtroom spaces, interactions, power dynamics, and the roles of judges, attorneys, interpreters, respondents, and others. Through structured reflection, the module encourages attention to due process, fairness, bureaucracy, and political pressures shaping immigration court decision‑making.

After watching this final module, please take the Module 7 quiz.
