INTRODUCTIONAbout this resource: This resource contains a list of legal serviceorganizations that provide free or low-cost immigration legal assistance andrepresentation for non-detained children in immigration proceedings. This listis comprised of mostly non-Vera affiliated organizations, but also includesthose Vera/DCS Legal Access Project subcontractors who may be able toaccept referrals for released children.The guide is organized alphabetically by state, one organization per page. Theinformation shown on each page includes the types of legal assistanceprovided by each organization, the areas and immigration courts served, andrelevant contact information.Background and methodology: This resource builds on previous versionsdistributed in January 2012, January 2013, April 2013 and July 2013. The2012 version was based on responses to a survey that we had emailed to legalservice organizations across the country that provide free or low-costimmigration legal assistance to children. For the 2013 versions, including thiscurrent one, we reached out to the organizations featured in the 2012 versionof the guide to confirm their desire to be featured again and also to updatetheir entries. We also turned to the DCS Legal Access Project subcontractornetwork for recommendations of additional organizations to contact aboutappearing in this guide. This guide, therefore, is comprised of organizationsthat: 1) agreed to be listed in this directory, some for the first time, and 2)provide pro bono (or low-cost) legal representation for non-detained childrenwho are without counsel.A final note: We hope this referral resource guide helps you in your work toobtain representation for immigrant children. We consider it a livingdocument, and we will be continuously updating it throughout the year. Tothat end, we depend on both your feedback on this current version and onyour recommendations for new organizations to contact in the future.Thank you.iv
