Students in the Legal Assistance: Immigrant Rights Clinic (IRC) represent immigrants and their organizations in court, before administrative agencies, and in the legislature. IRC is based at New Haven Legal Assistance, a historic nonprofit civil legal services office whose mission is to secure justice for and to protect the rights of those residents of New Haven County unable to engage legal counsel. The clinic is a legal resource for immigrant communities and their organizations. Through their advocacy and coursework, students in the clinic learn to practice as legal services lawyers representing immigrants and their organizations.
Ben Haldeman and Diana Blank supervise the clinic.
