During a winter 2023 check-in, IJC Fellows were asked to share an experience that has made them a more effective advocate.
What We Do
IJC awards promising, committed new lawyers and college graduates with two-year Fellowships, providing an unprecedented entry point into the field of immigration law.
Our Fellows join proven host organizations – with established connections to underrepresented communities – where they can make a difference for immigrants in greatest need of legal services.
We train our Fellows to become experts in immigration law, providing comprehensive skills development and sharing practices across a powerful network of partner organizations and alumni.
Become a Fellow
For recent law school graduates and clerks: Build expertise in immigration law and represent immigrants in removal defense, affirmative asylum and other matters.
For recent college graduates: Become partially accredited representatives and represent clients in matters before the Department of Homeland Security.
