Immigrants' Rights Clinic

Description

The Immigrants' Rights Clinic offers students the opportunity to represent individual immigrants and immigrants' rights organizations on a variety of projects, including direct representation of immigrants in removal (deportation) proceedings, cases securing rights for immigrant survivors of domestic violence, community outreach and public education, and/or policy advocacy. Students enrolled in the clinic participate in all aspects of case development, including interviewing clients and witnesses, investigating facts, writing pleadings, developing case strategy, conducting legal research, and/or presenting cases. Students also act as attorneys representing immigrants' rights organizations on specific advocacy efforts to protect the civil rights of all non-citizens. Students develop and implement advocacy strategies through media work, public education, lobbying, coalition-building, and grassroots organizing.
