Equal Justice America and The Dilley Pro-Bono Project have announced the creation of a two two-year, $130,000 Immigration Fellowships. The Dilley Pro-Bono Project provides free legal services to asylum-seeking mothers and their children who are being detained in the South Texas Family Residential Center (STFRC), the largest detention center in the country.

The Dilley Pro Bono Project, a collaboration of the American Immigration Council, American Immigration Lawyers Association, CLINIC and Texas RioGrande Legal Aid, is pleased to announce a post-graduate fellowship for graduating or recently graduated Columbia Law School students in partnership with Equal Justice America.

Wookie Kim is a Harvard Law School graduate, 2012 Equal Justice America Fellow, and a staff attorney at ACLU Hawai‘i. Wookie was initially motivated to attend law school after teaching in DC public schools as a Teach For America corps member where he witnessed the systemic inequalities that are “baked into society,” and he developed a passion for changing things for the better.
