As one of the country's leading human rights organizations, NIJC’s 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. Currently, we have 63 cases for individuals and families in need of pro bono representation in IL, IN, and WI.

*** If interested in asylum cases, this list includes cases that are scheduled for—or that we expect to receive—merits hearings within the next two years. Please note that the timeline for affirmative cases may be different. Not included on this list are numerous cases that are not yet scheduled for a hearing and which could benefit from pro bono advocacy to secure a hearing date. If you are interested in working on a specific type of case that you do not see listed here, please email Lili Henkel (lhenkel@immigrantjustice.org) and Moisés López Soltero (mlopezsoltero@immigrantjustice.org), and we will explore whether we have a case available that may be a good fit.
