Student Groups
The Student Clinic for Immigrant Justice (SCIJ) trains undergraduate students to provide free legal services to asylum seekers and to organize for immigrant justice. A call for applicants is announced at the start of each Fall semester.
Through a collaborative partnership, CHRHS and SCIJ train students at Brown to provide legal services to asylum seekers and organize for immigrant jutice. This program is open to all Brown University undergraduate students and SCIJ strongly encourages first-years and students with direct connections to immigration to apply.
During the fall semester, SCIJ's training will give students a broad overview of immigration law so they are prepared to provide legal services to immigrants, teach about the history and systemic issues with US immigration, and build student's skills in community organizing and advocacy. Then, starting in the spring semester, students begin to apply this knowledge by directly providing legal services to asylum seekers.
