Placing immigration cases with pro bono attorneys allows more people in immigration detention to receive full legal representation, while giving our pro bono partners the opportunity to gain rewarding professional experience. Since there is no public defender system in immigration proceedings, pro bono attorneys expand access to justice for detained individuals who would otherwise be forced to represent themselves.
The Florence Project Pro Bono Program provides high quality and comprehensive training and mentorship to all pro bono attorneys, by partnering pro bono attorneys with a trained Florence Project legal team.
