The all-inclusive site provides volunteers with the ability to review available cases, sign up for short-term and case placement volunteer opportunities, learn more about the work of the Pro Bono Project and access a wealth of training materials and practice templates. Immigrant Defense Project develops and disseminates written resources for immigrants and their loved ones and advocates. IDP seeks to minimize the harsh and disproportionate immigration consequences of contact with the criminal justice system by working to transform unjust deportation laws and policies; and educating and advising immigrants, their criminal defenders, and other advocates.The Immigrant Defense Project seeks to redress the harmful impact that current immigration regulations and policies have on immigrants, their families and our communities through impact litigation; hotline that provides legal advice and counsel to immigrants, their lawyers and advocates; publications to guide immigrants and their lawyers in criminal court and immigration court; community eduication and organizing; Know Your Rights presentation; policy and legislative advocacy at the local and national levels. Volunteers don’t need to have immigration experience. Our model of universal representation is built on this principle. We believe that the right to counsel in deportation proceedings is a necessary step towards ensuring due process for all. The new online platform, funded by the Liberty Defense Project, gives volunteers the tools to competently and effectively assist the most vulnerable immigrants. While IDP cannot provide direct representation in immigration removal proceedings we can offer individualized advice. Thanks for your interest in volunteering with the Ulster Immigrant Defense Network.
