Support Our Work

Your donation to the Refugee & Immigration Law Clinic will help support our law students as they provide legal services to Hawai‘i’s diverse community. Mahalo!

Help Keep Our Dream Alive!

As a clinical program of the William S. Richardson School of Law, the Refugee and Immigration Law Clinic provides legal information and critically needed representation for those in our island community seeking refuge and asylum as well as assistance with other immigration issues. Our dream is to meet the dire need for immigration attorneys to assist our most marginalized and vulnerable neighbors by expanding the number of WSRSL graduates practicing immigration law. Our Clinic provides educational and supervised training opportunities so that future “Richardson lawyers” can develop the knowledge, values, and legal expertise to become committed and skilled advocates in Hawaii and elsewhere. Your donation will help keep this dream alive.

MAHALO NUI! WE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SUCCEED WITHOUT YOUR SUPPORT!
