Client Testimonials

Population Research Institute

"I collaborated with the Clinic to produce informative materials on the impacts of the COVID-19 crisis on immigrants and their families in PA. I was extremely impressed with the quality of the work produced by the students, their passionate and optimistic attitude about the project, and the professionalism and level of attention to detail throughout the project. I am sure the outputs will make an important impact in the immigrant community as PA copes with the COVID crisis."

"I had the pleasure of working with the Center [for Immigrants’ Rights] in providing pro bono representation to an individual and her son. Our collaboration allowed myself the unique opportunity to take a case pro bono where I otherwise might not have been able to. The students took their responsibility seriously and were extremely dedicated. I look forward to watching them continue to change the world."
