The Immigrants’ Rights Clinic (IRC) provides legal representation to immigrant communities in Chicago and around the country, including individual representation of immigrants in removal proceedings, immigration-related complex federal litigation, and policy and community education projects. IRC students and faculty practice in federal, state, and administrative courts. The IRC regularly works with national civil rights organizations such as the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), the Mexican American Legal Defense and Education Fund (MALDEF), and the National Immigrant Justice Center (NIJC), as well as local organizations working with Chicago’s immigrant communities. More information about the clinic can be found at the clinic’s webpage.
Under the supervision of the Clinic’s Director, the successful candidate will help to train and supervise students in all aspects of their clinic work, co-teach the clinic’s seminar component, develop potential projects, assist in publicizing the clinic’s cases and activities, and organize and coordinate relevant events, lectures, and other clinic activities.
This Fellowship is an ideal position for those seeking to gain experience and training before pursuing a career in clinical teaching or in a public interest immigration law practice.
