Notre Dame Law 91视频’s Immigration Clinic provides free legal services through law students who work under the supervision of licensed attorneys. Clinic Director Ashley Sanchez said many clients arrive overwhelmed by complex laws and unsure where to turn. “People are just very scared and confused, and they don’t know where to turn. They don’t know who to trust for advice,” Sanchez said.

This January, the law school at Notre Dame started a new mission by giving immigrants in South Bend a chance to have their cases heard and strongly defended. A service, Director Ashley Sanchez said, is the highest in demand against every other need for an attorney. "Our focus is really on asylum and humanitarian-based work. So we'll do family-based petitions, we'll do asylum applications, things like that," said Ashley Sanchez, Notre Dame Immigration Clinic director.
