First Binational Clinic in Mexico to Support LMU Loyola Law School’s Immigrant Justice Clinic

Marissa Montes, Director Loyola Immigrant Justice Clinic

Good news at Loyola Los Angeles! 

 The Loyola Immigrant Justice Clinic at LMU Law School has received a gift to establish the Binational Migrant Advocacy Project (BMAP), bringing students in the United States and students in Mexico to work collaboratively in an international setting. This important project is the first binational clinic of its kind based at a law school in the U.S. and will serve as both a model and laboratory for more effective immigration advocacy and training.

LIJC’s BMAP will extend LLS’ global impact, fostering cross-border partnerships that empower migrant communities, enhance legal education, and advance justice on an international scale. LIJC’s BMAP is a collaboration between LLS and ITESO, Universidad Jesuita de Guadalajara (Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Occidente), in the Western Mexican state of Jalisco.
