BE AN NIJC PRO BONO ATTORNEY
The National Immigrant Justice Center’s (NIJC) Pro Bono Program partners with
legal volunteers to provide free legal representation for low-income immigrants
seeking family- or protection-based relief.
Pro bono representation can save lives. Without an attorney, people may be
separated from their family or sent to dangerous situations.
NIJC pro bono attorneys defend the legal rights of immigrants regardless of
background and transform the immigration system to one that affords equal
opportunity for all.
Pro Bono Opportunities with NIJC:
• Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) Predicate Orders
• Clinics:
• Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA)
• Naturalization
• Asylee/Refugee Family Petitions and Petitions for Permanent Residency
• Detained and non-detained asylum, including for adult, child, family, and
LGBTQ asylum seekers
• Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) and U Visa
To set you and your client up for success, NIJC provides in-depth training, attorney
support, document review, and technical assistance throughout the life of the
case.

thousands of people each year.
