Immigrant Justice Corps

Our Mission

Immigrant Justice Corps’ (IJC) mission is to recruit, train, and populate the immigration field with the highest quality legal advocates to create a new generation of leaders with a lifelong commitment to immigrant justice. IJC is the country’s first and only fellowship program exclusively dedicated to expanding access to quality counsel for low-income immigrants. Since 2014, we have demonstrated that an infusion of newly minted lawyers and passionate advocates levels the playing field and helps immigrants present their viable claims in court. To date, we have trained 500+ Fellows who have served 125,000+ immigrants and their families, achieving a 93% success rate in adjudicated cases.
