About HIP

The Harvard Law School Immigration Project (HIP) is a student practice organization that provides students, including first-year law students, the opportunity to gain practical, hands-on legal experience. HIP serves immigrant communities with high-quality advocacy, and the skills students hone in HIP are transferable to many different legal settings. HIP is proud to play a significant role in fostering a strong pro bono culture in the Harvard Law School community.
