Test Asylum Law
Join this site if you are a volunteer attorney, legal services advocate, law student or faculty advising low income and disadvantaged clients, there are resources here to help you.
Practice Area! This area supports lawyers who are providing pro bono assistance to individuals seeking asylum in the United States. It is hosted by the following alliance of nonprofit asylum providers:
- The Lawyers Committee
for Human Rights; - SF Lawyers' Committee
for Civil Rights; and - Minnesota Advocates
for Human Rights.
The practice area was developed by the Lawyers Committee for Human Rights with assistance from the Open Society Institute and the law firm of Davis Polk & Wardwell.
Volunteers Are Needed! There are more people fleeing persecution today than at any time since World War II. As the need for help becomes more critical, however, countries with traditionally liberal asylum policies, among them the United States, have developed new barriers to turn away refugees seeking protection.
Practice Area Resources. The practice area contains tremendous online support and resources to its participating lawyers, including news, a calendar of trainings and events, online listings of new cases for volunteers, a message board that will allow you to communicate with other members of the practice area and an online library of training manuals, briefs and practice materials.
Get Involved. The participants in this practice area come from many of the country's most prestigious law firms and public interest organizations. If you are interested in becoming a part of this growing online community, join now!
