The Foundation has supported Immigrant Justice Corps since 2014. The first and only fellowship of its kind, IJC identifies promising lawyers and advocates passionate about immigration, places them with legal services and community-based organizations where they can make the greatest difference and supports them with training and expert insights as they directly assist immigrants in need. IJC is the visionary idea of the late Judge Robert Katzmann of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, as a response to the crisis in legal representation for immigrants he saw every day as a federal judge.
