Students at Seattle University School of Law (SU Law) join IRAP because they seek practical ways to express their care and passion for supporting immigrant and refugee communities. Students participate in IRAP to gain information about immigration law, network with practitioners whose work aligns with their interests, and engage in pro bono work. With Washington being the third-largest refugee-receiving state, many SU Law students have personal connections to the issue of immigrant justice. IRAP attracts students from diverse backgrounds, a diversity not reflected in many other student organizations.

At SU Law, students also have access to opportunities such as the immigration clinic and professors with expertise and experience across various areas of immigration law, many of whom encourage the student body to become aware of IRAP’s work and advocacy. While many students join IRAP already passionate about immigrant justice, the organization also welcomes those who are eager to learn more. Some IRAP student members have taken 100-hour pro bono pledges through the law school and fulfill those hours by working on projects offered by IRAP.
