LAW 810

About this course

The Immigrant & Non-Citizen Rights Clinic (INRC) trains future social justice lawyers to help close the growing legal divide between citizens and non-citizens of the United States. Clinic objectives are carried out through direct legal representation and defense as well as advocacy and lawyering in support of communities and movements. Students practice at all levels of the federal judiciary, and before administrative agencies and courts, military tribunals, and international bodies. INRC utilizes a holistic and collaborative approach to client representation, often working in concert with medical professionals and others to ensure immigrant and/or detained clients receive access to housing, healthcare, education, and public benefits. To hone the full panoply of advocacy skills, students also participate in projects involving legislative advocacy, community education, organizing support and community intake clinics both through in-house projects and external placements.
