Thank you for your interest in the Penn Law Immigrants' Rights Project (PLIRP)! Please fill out this form to join our listserv and receive pro bono opportunities by email throughout the year to make a difference in an immigrant's ability to access basic human rights in this country.

PLIRP is a student-run pro bono group dedicated to providing legal services to people from around the world seeking to secure or adjust their immigration status in the United States.

What we do:
PLIRP partners with legal service organizations in Philadelphia and beyond to accompany immigrants through various immigration processes including asylum, permanent residence, naturalization, DACA, U visas, and others. PLIRP members also conduct research on immigration legal issues for our partner organizations and participate in discussions about immigration law and policy.

How we do it:
We partner with major immigration organizations in the Philadelphia area and beyond—including HIAS, Nationalities Service Center, and Innovation Law Lab—to assist clients in navigating immigration legal process. Depending on the needs of the partner and the project, PLIRP members might meet with a client several times over the semester to gather information and fill out a visa application, spend a few hours in a clinic setting giving a know-your-rights presentation, or research country conditions on behalf of an asylum-seeker.

What skills will I develop:
Client counseling, interviewing and intake, working with vulnerable clients, policy/advocacy, legal research and writing, community engagement.

Migration is beautiful.
