Our Services

In the current climate of increasingly restrictive immigration policies, now more than ever, a forensic evaluation can mean the difference between a grant and a denial for immigrants seeking asylum and other relief.

The Human Rights Clinic (HRC) trains, deploys, and provides ongoing support to volunteer clinicians who provide expert forensic evaluations, affidavits, and telephonic testimony that document the physical and psychological scars of abuse for immigrants seeking relief in the United States. Our network of nearly 200 dedicated HRC volunteers includes physicians and mental health professionals who conduct forensic psychological, medical, and gynecological evaluations.

Over the last 25 years, thousands of attorneys have come to rely on the forensic evaluation services the HRC provides to their clients. 90 percent of clients served by the HRC are granted asylum or other immigration relief, while fewer than 40 percent of those seeking asylum nationally are granted.
