Our Story

Founded in 2020, the Student Clinic for Immigrant Justice

(SCIJ) is a youth-led organization fighting for the safety of immigrants by training and mobilizing college students to provide pro bono legal support

to asylum seekers and to organize for local policy change.

SCIJ was born out of four successful years of training and mobilizing students at Brandeis University to provide free legal services to immigrants. Drawing from this experience, SCIJ sought to develop an organization that was more scalable, collaborative, and addressed the root causes of immigrant injustices by combining community organizing and legal advocacy strategies.

In 2020, in the midst of a pandemic, as the number of pending immigration cases tipped over 1,400,000 and some of the harshest immigration policies were being implemented, SCIJ was launched.

Our ecosystem is built and supported by the collaborative partnerships SCIJ has with UMass Boston, Worcester State University, and Brown University. Through these partnerships, SCIJ has:

Trained 187 students, most of whom are immigrants or first-generation Americans, women or non-binary, and/or people of color. �
Provided pro bono legal support to over 350 asylum seekers;
Won campaigns in MA and RI for immigrant justice including a campaign to ensure driver’s licenses are available to people regardless of immigration status;
Received the New England Innovation Award in recognition of SCIJ’s impactful work
