New Pro Bono Resource Center

 
Pro bono attorneys interested in representing low-income immigrants have a new resource with the launch of the Immigration Advocates Network’s Pro Bono Resource Center. The launch was timed to coincide with this week’s National Pro Bono Celebration.

Developed by Pro Bono Net and 11 leading immigration advocacy and legal support organizations, the Immigration Advocates Network (IAN) launched in early 2008 to support legal advocates working on behalf of immigrants’ rights. IAN’s Pro Bono Resource Center provides resources, trainings, technical assistance, volunteer opportunities, and networking tools for pro bono attorneys representing low-income immigrants.

With its nonprofit community of advocates now well-developed, IAN is prepared to reach out to a broader group of volunteer attorneys who are dedicated to increasing access to justice for low-income immigrants. Immigration law is complex, and pro bono attorneys new to this area will benefit from the wealth of resources available on IAN.  For more information on IAN, contact Matthew Burnett, Associate Director, at mburnett@immigrationadvocates.org.
