The Pro Bono Board has an exciting new project to share with all of you, and hopes you will consider becoming involved.
The Country Conditions Report Project is focused on uncovering recent social and political attitudes and treatment of oppressed persons around the world. This project is intended to aid attorneys and organizations seeking to secure asylum for clients who would otherwise be oppressed or persecuted in their home countries. Students will research and compile a report within a three-week time period for a potential maximum of 30 pro bono hours. This project offers a unique opportunity to gain exposure to and experience in areas of international law, immigration law, LGBT law, criminal law and others.
The Board is hosting an interest meeting for the students on Monday, February 15 from 12:30-1:30 in room 211, which we hope you’ll plan to attend.
If you have questions about the project, or to express your interest in participating, please contact Madeline Turpen at mturpen@elon.edu.
