About us
Immigrant Justice Corps (IJC) is the country’s first fellowship program wholly dedicated to meeting the need for high-quality legal assistance for immigrants seeking citizenship and fighting deportation. Inspired by Chief Judge Robert Katzmann of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, IJC brings together the country’s most talented advocates, connects them to New York City’s best legal and community institutions, leverages the latest technologies, and fosters a culture of creative thinking that will produce new strategies to reduce the justice gap for immigrant families, ensuring that immigration status is no longer a barrier to social and economic opportunity.

Welcome to all our City University of New York School of Law Fellows!
Ten of our recent graduates have been selected for the prestigious Immigrant Justice Corps fellowship! 🌟 What makes this extra special? - We're the top producer of IJC Fellows this year - Our grads are part of a record-breaking cohort of 130 Fellows - This achievement reflects our deep commitment to immigrant rights and public interest law But numbers only tell part of the story. Each of these ten individuals represents a dream, a journey, and a commitment to justice that goes beyond classrooms and courtrooms. As @Therese McNulty, our Associate Director of Career Planning, puts it: "We have long known immigrants who are represented by counsel in Immigration Court have far better outcomes than those without." This is why we do what we do. To Alma, Aruna, Karem, Israel, Ivan, Nina, Ashley, Elsa, Erik, and Cindy: We can't wait to see what you'll do next as IJC Fellows. https://lnkd.in/ee85wMBV #whyCUNYLaw #ImmigrantJustice #LawyeringForThePeople
