LSNYC has thousands of active individual cases placed with law firms and corporations. LSNYC provides training, supervision, and technical support, while pro bono partners take the lead on the cases. Pro bono opportunities are organized by area of law. Our pro bono initiatives include immigration, consumer, housing, benefits, family, education, and tax. To explore, click on the menu at right under "taking cases".
LSNYC also runs approximately 70 legal clinics each year with law firms and volunteers from corporations. Many clinics involve an initial meeting with clients for full representation on their cases. Others provide limited scope assistance, primarily by conducting enhanced screening for clients that LSNYC may then determine whether and in what capacity to represent them. LSNYC also regularly offers "study groups" which are similar to clinics and involve a training and bulk placement of cases with a law firm and/or corporate partner, but with teams scheduling individual meetings the same week as the clinic. Our clinics and study groups include: asylum; naturalization; U-Visa; VAWA Self Petition/Battered Spouse Waiver; adjustment of status for green card holders; transgender name changes; and housing repair/anti-tenant harassment. To explore our clinical and study group offerings, click on the menu at right under "clinics and study groups".
