1L Immigration Law and Advocacy Clinic

Cornell Law’s Immigration Law & Advocacy Clinic provides first-year law students and advanced students the opportunity to engage in direct-services legal work on a variety of immigration cases and create and deliver public-facing legal information to the community. Students provide legal representation on a variety of cases with a special focus on DACA-related work and asylum.  The clinic also advocates for undocumented individuals and those in immigration detention. Students interview and counsel clients, perform legal research and writing, and build skills in intercultural fluency and legal analysis. The Clinic partners with collaborators both national and local, such as the ACLU Immigrants Rights Project and Southern Poverty Law Center on legal orientation projects for those in detention and Journey’s End Refugee Services on asylum cases in upstate New York.
