This is a curated list of 10 asylum cases based on gender violence, gender identity and sexual orientation. NIJC is seeking pro bono support during Pride Month 2022 for these individuals.
NIJC’s pro bono attorneys ensure access to justice and advocate for due process. Currently 67 individuals and families are in need of pro bono representation.
This training provides an overview of Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS). NIJC and CVLS provide guidance for obtaining a predicate order in Illinois state courts.
On April 3, 2022, Principal Legal Advisor Kerry E. Doyle issued a new memo that provides guidance to ICE attorneys about exercising prosecutorial discretion in immigration cases.
Experts and pro bono attorneys from the National Immigrant Justice Center (NIJC) review the state of asylum from three perspectives: at the border, in the law, and in the courts.
This decision predates the 2019 and 2021 changes in Illinois law regarding SIJS but includes extensive analysis of the federal statute that may be useful.
This training was created by experts at NIJC and the Chicago Volunteer Legal Services (CVLS) to assist attorneys in preparing predicate orders for SIJS clients.
