About the Immigration Clinic

The Immigration Clinic represents individuals from local immigrant communities, and advises and consults with organizations that work with these communities. The clinic represents individuals in affirmative cases before federal administrative agencies and in removal/deportation defense in immigration court.

The clinic has represented individuals in applications for asylum, temporary protected status, and special forms of immigration status for victims of crime, human trafficking, and domestic violence; special protections for immigrant children; family reunification; lawful permanent resident status; and naturalization.

The Immigration Clinic also works in state and federal courts at points where immigration law intersects with criminal law, family law, and probate law. On behalf of organizations, the Immigration Clinic conducts research, training, public education and advocacy.

The Immigration Clinic is directed by Professor Bram Elias.
