Immigrant Families Advocacy Project seeking Pro-Bono Attorneys
The Immigrant Families Advocacy Project (IFAP), in conjunction with the Northwest
Immigrant Rights Project (NWIRP), and the University of Washington School of
Law, invite you to participate in a Continuing Legal Education program on
providing advocacy to immigrant survivors of domestic violence. IFAP trains and
matches law students with pro bono attorneys to provide representation to
immigrant survivors of crime and domestic violence who are eligible to obtain
lawful immigration status in the U.S. We are looking for pro bono attorneys to
volunteer during the 2010-2011 school year. Attorneys do not need to have
experience with immigration law or any specific practice area and supervise only
one pair of law students on a single case. NWIRP provides insurance coverage and
additional support to pro bono attorneys. The cost is only $25 for attorneys who
agree to take a case during the 2010-2011 school year. The CLE is being held
November 5, 2010 at Perkins Coie in Seattle and has been approved for 4.25 CLE
credits, including .75 Ethics Credits. Please visit
www.uwcle.org to register or
contact lindaifap@gmail.com for more
information.

undergraduate schools. Men comprise 55% of the class, women 45% . Washington
residents make up 64% (122). Approximately 25% of the class are students of

Generous Support from Donors
We are pleased to report that the UW School of
Law closed out the 2009-10 fiscal year with great success — thanks to you, our
generous alumni and friends. At the close of the fiscal year, alumni and friends
contributed a total of $2.5M in gifts and pledges and increased the percent of
participation in giving to 14%, up from 13% a year ago. Additionally, the law school established another
unprecedented record of faculty giving, for a total of 90% by fiscal year end.
And, the total number of total alumni and friends giving to the UW School of Law
rose by nearly 8.5%.
More than ever before the law school relies on private support to realize its
vision: Educating Leaders for the Global Common Good. Please consider
making a gift
to help us, whether through law firm giving, mentoring law students, or
contributing to scholarship endowments.
