Capacity Building
Are you a nonprofit service provider who is interested in collaboration to promote access to civil justice and expand awareness of human rights? Consider partnering with us to expand access to justice through an onsite legal clinic or presentation!
We provide direct legal representation and advice clinics for individuals who need affordable services but do not qualify for legal aid. We are passionate and diligent advocates for our clients. Our practice areas are immigration, educational advocacy and the expungement of criminal records.
Education and Training
The Human Civil Rights Law Center provides "deep dives," learning communities and retreats in the areas of immigration, elections and democracy, administrative law, building inclusive communities, among other topics.
