Immigrant Justice Corps Post-Graduate Fellowship Program
Each year IJC awards Justice Fellowships to 25 recent law graduates and law clerks from around the country – individuals with tremendous talent, promise, and a demonstrated commitment to providing legal services for low income people and for immigrants. IJC trains Justice Fellows to become experts in immigration law and pairs them with leading non-profit legal services providers and community based organizations. Justice Fellows represent immigrants in an array of immigration matters including removal defense, complex affirmative asylum applications, and other forms of relief available to juveniles and victims of crime, domestic violence, or human trafficking. IJC Fellows serve for two years and are provided with a full salary and benefits.
AUWCL Graduates have been well respresented in this program. Join us for an informaiton session with IJC staff and past WCL fellows, and learn more about how to apply!

The Transformation or Reconstitution of Europe
This innovative study on the European Court of Justice (ECJ) examines the jurisprudence of the Court on immigration, free movement and criminal law through the lenses of the American critical legal studies (CLS) perspective. In interpreting EU law, the Court has not merely reconstituted the national legal matrix at the supranational level, but has also transformed Europe and shaken the well-established, often formalist, ways of thinking about law in the Member States.
Moderator: Federiga Bindi, Senior Fellow, SAIS John Hopkins
Authors: Siniša Rodin (Judge CJEU Luxembourg), Tamara Perišin (University of Zagreb) Fernanda Nicola (AU WCL)
