The Refugee Law Center is a non-profit organization devoted to strengthening the human rights of refugees and immigrants through legal representation, research, educational initiatives, and policy development.
Working in collaboration with other human rights and refugee policy and legal representation organizations in the United States and other countries, RLC provides position papers, amicus curie (friend of the court) briefs, legal support, human rights and country conditions documentation, and legal representation on issues relating to refugee protection. The RLC has placed particular emphasis on the development of theories and the advancement of legal doctrine for women immigrants applying for asylum and related protections on gender-specific grounds. It is also placing special emphasis on the development of theories,strategies, and legal support for the representation of particular refugee communities in their efforts to apply forasylum and related protections, as well as immigrant and asylum seeking children.
