Students in Community HeLP Clinic achieve over 100 health-justice successes on behalf of immigrant families in 2025

UGA Law students contributed over 2500 service-learning hours while enrolled in the Community Help Clinic in 2025, achieving over 100 health-justice successes on behalf of immigrant families, including federal litigation benefiting 14 clients and reuniting two long separated families. Clinic clients obtained medical deferred action, asylum, special immigrant juvenile status, benefits as crime- or trafficking-victims, parole, family-based permanent residence, and naturalization. Clinic students and faculty also represented noncitizens who provided testimony to OSHA about workplace harms that resulted in the deaths of their coworkers, made legal presentations to schools & domestic violence shelters, and represented noncitizens facing detention or removal.
