This is very hands-on experience. Ninety percent of our clients are from the GLBT community and/or are HIV positive. We represent clients in detention centers and around the United States. For example, I have flown to El Paso, TX and driven to Otay Mesa, CA for clients entering the U.S. at the border.
This is very rewarding work and an opportunity to work on some of the best human rights cases found inside the U.S. This is the Peace Corps in your own backyard!
